Last night, I had a strange dream. I was sleeping in my bed when I felt someone gently touching my waist and slowly pulling me closer to him. Then he started softly kissing my neck.
Even in the dream, I was somehow conscious that I was dreaming. I knew I was sleeping alone, so at first I became scared and thought it might be some kind of demonic dream. At the same time, part of me was hoping that the person was the guy I’m in love with.(we couldnt be together in real life)

But I couldn’t clearly see or remember his face, but I remember him smiling softly while kissing me and his smile is similar to the one I'm in love. I tried to kiss him back, but I was still scared and confused.
I thought it a dream at least kiss him so I just pulled him close to kiss him but I woke up

What came suddenly is this because I have been thinking more about them lately?

Hi everyone,
I’m looking for some sincere Christian perspectives and advice.
I’m not a Christian, but I’ve developed deep feelings for a Christian man. He knows how I feel, and he has been very kind and respectful. He told me that he can be friends with me, but because of his faith and convictions, he doesn’t feel he can pursue a romantic relationship with someone outside his religion.
I respect his beliefs and don’t want to pressure him or ask him to compromise his conscience. At the same time, my feelings are genuine, and it’s been difficult to know what to do next.

From a Christian perspective, what would you advise someone in my situation? Is there anything I should understand better about his decision? How can I handle this respectfully while honoring both his faith and my own feelings?

Thank you in advance for your kindness and thoughtful responses.
