Dear Woman Alive panel

I had always planned to date Christians but I recently met someone at my work who has been so kind and attentive (in a way I never get from men in the Church). I agreed to have dinner with him and we’ve now been dating for three months. He takes an interest in my faith and I’ve said it’s important to me, he respects that completely but just doesn’t share my beliefs. He’s agreed to my physical boundaries but said he’s not keen to come to church with me. Should I walk away? I really like him and would be heartbroken to leave, especially when I can’t see any dating prospects with the Christian men in my life.
