Mathew 5:28

but I say unto you, that anyone one that looketh on a woman (man) to lust after her (him) hath committed adultery with her (him) already in his (her) heart.

Define "likes".

Thank you for your response and let me clarify

As in attracted/crushing on a person (without lust).

I am walking down the street and all of a sudden an unknown person just waves and smiles at me. I blush and my heart begins to race super fast, this shows I am attracted/crushing/interested in the person.

Pheromones, physical attractiveness, and the way someone smells, laughs, or smiles can all play roles in creating a crush, but as to why we are attracted to the person we can never really explain, especially if we are not looking for it.

Hope this helps,

Timra

Mathew 18:9

Douay-Rheims Bible
And if thy eye scandalize thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee. It is better for thee having one eye to enter into life, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire.

Sorry I hit that thumbs up again instead of quote.

Girl??? You don't say wife or woman.

God made us knowing right from wrong regardless of faith or religion. Only you know the circuмstances concerning how this developed.
You already know the answer to your question. You don't need quotes and passages.

We can put wife or woman, actually, wife would be the better word. I just put girl. Sorry if that caused an issue.

Yes, I do know the circuмstances of how this developed. I have bi-weekly meetings with a friend where we talk about random topics. I was talking with my friend and we both agreed that liking someone without lust while being married was wrong, but we both could not prove it. So I decided to dive into the word and find biblical verses that proved this point. I found about 11 different sɛҳuąƖ sins, but nothing about liking another person without lust as being wrong.

I can find where acting upon that emotion is wrong, but not feeling that emotion as being wrong.

I used both examples in previous responses.

If I am working and my boss puts me on a team to work with and I end up getting close to my workmates in a professional manner and end up being attracted to one of them. I was not seeking to be attracted this person it just happened. So then I distance myself from that co-worker because I do not want to be put into the temptation of doing a wrongful action. But was the initial attraction wrong if everything done was professional thus far?

Another example I used in a previous response.

Another example I am walking down the street and all of a sudden an unknown person just waves and smiles at me. I blush and my heart begins to race super fast, this shows I am attracted/crushing/interested in the person.

Was my attraction wrong if I was just walking down the street and not searching for it?

Thank you,

Timra

You need to spend more time with God. You need to spend time with your husband too. Also, going to confession is a good thing too. You can ask a priest about it.

Also, beware of girl friends. Especially single or divorced girlfriends. You are now married and shouldn’t keep them as friends. Sometimes they aren’t your true friends.

If you are a married woman, it’s time to grow up. Growing up is a good thing.
