Having sexual thoughts about new partner and not sure how to handle it

I'm 32 female and have been seeing a guy for almost two months. We are getting on very well and I enjoy getting to know him. He is a Christian too and takes me to church with him every Sunday. He is very sweet and I feel safe around him. This is my first "real" relationship (my first was an online long distance relationship) and so I am learning a lot of things along the way.

I am very attracted to him both physically and emotionally, I think. It's still too early to say I love him but ever since last week I have started to really struggle with my thoughts. Every morning I have really sexually charged thoughts involving him and being half-asleep I tend to entertain them until I fully wake up and can pray for forgiveness. I feel guilty about it because I don't want to do anything that would cause God to distance Himself from me, and I also do not want to disrespect this guy in my heart by lusting after him.

How would you handle this?
