A Non-Muslim Friend Asking About Ramadan

As-salamu alaykum! I’m not Muslim, but I’ve been learning about Islam lately. The reason started when someone important to me-who happens to be Muslim-drifted away last year. Though I was hoping to reconnect recently, things didn’t work out as I'd wished. I’m not too upset because I had a feeling it might go that way. I know that Islam has clear guidance on relationships, and I respect that-I’m not looking for advice on that part. But because this person introduced me to the faith, I’ve felt drawn to learn more. I’ve visited a mosque and read about Islam on my own. This year, I’m thinking of joining in during Ramadan, even though I’m not Muslim. My question is: If I fast during Ramadan, is it okay to make du'a about this situation? I’m wondering if I can pray for the chance to rebuild a connection, or if that’s not how prayer is meant to work. Honestly, I’m still trying to understand how it all fits together.
