I would date him, cause not everyone in this world share the same beliefs as you. The main thing is that he is coming to church, that shows that he cares and respect the religion.
Take care

It depends on whether we're talking religion or salvation.
If you believe in God and Jesus and have a lot of Christian friends and like Christian values, but that's about the extent of your faith, then even if he doesn't share those views but shows respect for your religion that's good enough.
If you are a born-again Christian and you know for a fact that you are saved and it is your deepest desire to be pleasing to God first, then you should not go out with this guy. Because if things progress and you fall in love it'll be really hard on you. The Bible says to not be "unequally yoked" with an unbeliever. If your faith is real, not just a bunch of traditions and customs, then how could you live with someone who you know is going to hell? Wouldn't that absolutely kill you every time you look at him? Now obviously just because you like the guy doesn't mean you'll end up together, but why set yourself up for temptation?
There's nothing wrong with hanging out with people of all different beliefs and having friends like that, in fact Jesus hung out mostly with people who were as far from the church going crowd as they could be. But when it comes to dating and subsequently marriage, the Bible is pretty clear on those things.
So ask yourself this one question and try to be totally honest with yourself. How much does this church thing mean to you? Is it just a set of values (in which case it's perfectly fine to date the guy, he'll respect your values and you'll respect his); or is this a true faith, one that is more important in your life than anything else (then you guys shouldn't be together unless he gets saved later too - and you would have to wait for that to happen first, you can't expect people to change, the whole "missionary dating" does not work).
Figure this one thing out and you'll know what to do. Hope this helps. God bless.

dont judge him for one. second he comes to church but you say he isnt of your faith that sure seems ood. as for your idea of what is right and wrong thats different. you dont have to give up on your idea's of right and wrong but you should listen to what he has to say.
also encourage him to keep coming to church .
as for dating this guy well you are a christain thats great but dont become a fanatic . just date him and see what happens you never know he might have some insight into the worship of God that you never thought of.

Ask yourself, if you develop a relationship with this guy, would the fact that he is not a christian matter and would it matter to him? If the question is yes for either one of you then I think you'll have your answer.

That depend upon YOU. I don't have such "Christian beliefs" that would prohibit me from being with someone who's company I enjoy.

Introduce him to one of your attractive female friends. If you feel you can't benefit from his love, at least give your best friends the opportunity.
