Dating a non-christian is specifically outlined as wrong and could lead to serious results in the Bible. I couldnt tell you where to find the verse but I can recite it:
"Do not unequally yolk yourself with non-christians."
That should be NIV. Even if you believe you can convert your boyfriend/girlfriend, you should do it as friends, and not go any farther than that.

Here's a verse, Luke 6:35 - But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked.

Well, on my opinion about dating a non-christian...I don't think it's good to. In the NT it says 'do not be unequally yolked' as in, the thing that oxen or horses use to plow; the wooden bar that goes across their chest. Two oxen are fine, and two horses, but a horse and an ox can't do it together, because they are the wrong size and are thefore 'unequally yolked'. Dating a non-Christian could drag you down. People typically allow themselves to do things they wouldn't normally do.
Second piece of advice: DON'T DATE. Lol...honestly, right now, there are more important things in life. I learned that the hard way. In my graduating year of high school I was left with a broken heart, my dad resigning, losing friends, and going into a whole new world. And I then had to spend the whole summer with my ex. Not fun, I'll tell you. Especially when his friends get involved...
So I've resolved that I'm going to be a pentecostal nun =) Honestly...there are better things. I'm having a blast and I'm quite fine with not having a boyfriend; when the time is right he'll come around.

It's a lot of work to be in a relationship and its much more important to get through school. Plus I would rather wait a long time for the right guy than have my heart crushed many times. As for dating non-Christians, yah I would agree it is bad. The bible specifically warns against it and you can't go into a relationship thinking you are going to change the guy into a Christian. It doesn't work that way. In fact, its quite the opposite. The guy influences you in the end. Plus, you can't even talk about your thoughts, opinions, etc of your faith. I would be deeply hurt if I couldn't talk about my faith with my bf (if I had one).

Last time I broke up with her..
It was like she pulled me away from my beliefs....
I say,if you really love him,try to bring up towards christianity,if he doesnt want to come,brake up with him.

so much negativity to dating a non christian, please read my post in the other thread regarding this. Thanks to my fiance keeping an open mind as well as i, we have become extremley close and we truly love and respect eachother. We learn from eachother. Just think twice before you decide to be with anyone regardless if they are a believer or not, if it doesnt feel right then it isnt, but if you are thinking oh no i need to find someone... stop looking, the right person will come to you one day, that and you may not be ready. You may need to focus on yourself and your spirituality, regardless if its christianity you follow or not.

This is really a very tricky subject. Upon considering a relationship or starting a relationship you need to let the other person know that before all things you love Christ and will respect his wishes before your boyfriend's. He/she wil have to respect your beliefs and take part in your life, which doesn't mean he/she has to be dragged to church whenever you go, but he should keep a mild interest in your faith since in a loving relationship he should love all things about you, not hold back because of your faith.
Also, missionary-dating (dating to convert someone) is a very slippery slope. It can be very successful, but upon breaking up can lead to a person letting go of the faith and hold resentment to it due to the nature of the breakup/relationship.
Such a relationship can be very fruitful, however it is a very tricky subject. There are some very good people (yes we're all sinners, relatively) that would not be a spiritual burden to you and therefore be great people to date.
