Aggi Pursued

I moved out on my own a few months ago and am finding my way in the world. My parents homeschooled the kids to give them a better education and to try and shelter us a bit. They’re Christian in the sense that they believe in God and taught us a few bible stories but it didn’t come up a lot unless we had some sort of crisis. Now I live alone, love going to my little but lively church and have a group of good friends to hang out with. They’re very decent people. My situation in question is I’m in love with one of them. He’s agnostic, goes with me to church and is interested in a genuine relationship with Christ instead of the empty rituals he gave up as a teenager. He asks questions and wants to understand. He doesn’t try to dissuede me from my fiath. He’s a good man, an eagle scout and one of the genuinely kindest people I’ve ever met. My parents won’t speak to him, say hateful things about him and have repeatedly said that if I persue this relationship I’ll be effectively ending things with them. They ask me to cover pictures of him when they visit me. He offers little gifts and favors like walking their dog and my parents get mad at me for putting them in the position of being rude to decline, which they consistently do anyway. They say Christians should avoid unbelievers. Jesus said to seek people out and teach them, welcome them to know Him through us. I want to marry a Christian and I’d love to marry my friend, hopefully he can find Christ and we can all be together. My question is two fold: Is it ungodly to be in a romantic relationship with someone who’s looking for God but hasn’t found Him yet? Also, I’ve known him for almost a year now, and have been dating him for about seven months…how long should I wait to see if he can find his faith? I have a tendency of being loyal to a fault, I’m afraid of waiting too long for something that isn’t meant to be and I’m afraid of giving up too soon on something that’s truely special. I Pray for answers and I feel God is telling me to trust Him and wait it out even though the suspense is killing me and it’s probably smarter to walk away. What do you think?
