I understand that 憧れる is "to respect, long to be like." Are there such
connotations associated with being "half" in Japan?

I'm half and a Japanese man said to me: 「ハーフ憧れる」What does it mean?

Different people have different opinions here, but in general, yes. ハーフ
(especially Western-Japanese "half") is commonly associated with beauty and
proficiency in languages, and there are a few people who actively seek
international marriage. Please see the link posted by @kimiTanaka, too.
