no, i don't think it's ok. i'm a Christian too, and i have made a list of my standards and what i want in my guy, u should make one too! but like u said, ur not gonna marry him ever and do u think he wants u to date him jus cuz ur bored? also u said u don't want to get sidetracked from God, that's why u wouldn't marry him(or another non-Christian) so what, he's not gonna sidetrack u jus cuz ur dating him? i think he would sidetrack u! and u r only 15, u still have plenty of time to date and find the right (Chritian) one!\n but also think about this, if this guy is so great, what is the guy that God has for u gonna b like? he's going to b even BETTER!!! so keep holding out for the right guy! good luck!

Pick a person like yourself, be yourself, be a nice person so that you will pick a nice person, tell the truth, don’t be a bitch or a nag, don’t be high maintenance, respect your boyfriend/girlfriend and all others and especially yourself. Don’t date someone beneath your standards and don’t lower them. Be considerate and charitable and be happy. You may be able to get him more into religion in the future by being an example by living your religion. Wait a bit, you are far too young for marriage right now, if he is right for you then he will still be with you when you are a bit older.♣

I am not a Christian but I consciously try not to belittle any religion.  My husband is a Christian as is most of my family.  I believe that each religion is valid to the worshiper and even if it is not yours it should still be given respect.

Some churches welcome openly gay people and couples[yes even in Atlanta] that might be a place to look for someone who wants a LTR. Try the Lutherans I think they welcome every one here in Fla. Remember God made all of us and God doesn't make mistakes!

I wouldn't be surprised. I expect even holding hands is wrong. It seems everything is wrong in the christian religion. You cant do this,and you cant do that.

Becareful not to apply what is right or wrong for you as right or wrong for everybody.\n\nIt is ok for bisexuality to be "not your thing" and you can say no you are not intrested and they need to respect that.\n\nDo not judge aor condemn them. If God made them to be bi- gender loving you may be making a statement that is contrary to God and you will be held accountable if you beating them wiht the bible or condemning them causes a rift between them and God.

actually.\nits VERY RECOMMENDED and probably a MUST to have both male and female of a married couple being God-fearing Christians.\n\nbecause, in that way, both would have more of God's grace and fervour.\nand that they can pull each other to be even more on fire with God. \nand it would be very hard for either side to backslide.\nmany advantages of having a both christian couple\n\nif any Christian girl says that, but looks more into the looks , money, stature, then God wouldnt really look upon the couple with favour.\n\nand that girl isnt really a 'on fire' type of Christian.\nnot that i'm saying i am.. but after all, its not for US to judge , but for God to judge.\n\nand yes im a girl, and i havent even gotten  my first boyfriend yet, but if i ever have a non-christian bf, it wont last, cos i wont let it last.\nwith my little faith, i believe that God will be pleased if even i break up a stead relationship with a nonchristian guy :D

Why in this world would you two ever marry?  You two will self destruct in a very short time if you marry.  A christian should never marry a non christian.  It just makes the whole marriage very difficult, if not impossible.  You should tell him everything that you think BEFORE you ever marry.  He can not OK or deny you to go to hell, you will go there no matter what he believes, but for your own belief.  I think you are just looking for problems dating this person.

if he was a christian he would respect you for your decision. I think you are doing the right thing.  Think about this...Dont worry about why he's doing it.  Its the Devil talking. God would love for you to be around Christians, and of course the Devil would not.  Don't put God after your boyfriend. God first, ALWAYS! God Bless You!

Truly, I don't think it even matters whether you are a Christian or not, any gentleman should respect a woman with all of her qualities, choices, and thoughts.  Any challenge to these things should be done with respect, consideration, and charity.  So if a guy loves a girl, he should respect your choice to be abstinent ... but ... he also has the choice to rejected it as well, which I fear most men would.  The ones who respect it, and participate (meaning they're not dating behind your back, but are abstinent with you) are the keepers.\n\nGood luck, and may God bless you!

You should definitely dodge the Christian you have gotten close to. He's already laying a guilt trip on you, what's next?\n\nFollow your desires as you see them and date the non-Christian if he seems like a decent guy.\n\n((((( r u randy? )))))\n.

Good question!\n\nApostle Paul says in 2 Corinthians7:14-18, "Do not be yoked with nonbelievers." If God is speaking to you, telling you that this boy is not a Christian, then you should listen to Him, pray about it, and see what God leads you to do. In my opinion, if he was practicing witchcraft... then within 4 days-a month he probably did not accept Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. Yes, DO ask him these questions, to his face-- have a sit-down talk. Is he attending church? Does he profess that Christ is his Savior who died for all his sins? If so, then he is a Christian and you should help him grow by having a Christ-centered relationship with him. Christian dating is focused on marriage. And marriage, the Bible says, must be with a believer. If it turns out that he is not a Christian, and you still feel like you should stay together, then ask God to help you help your boyfriend seek Christ in his life. Take him to bible studies and retreats and church. Let God do the rest. If you feel like your boyfriend is not a Christian, and has no desire to truly discover Jesus and eventually accept Him into his heart, then I say you should break up with this boy. He will not be good for your own spiritual walk, and he might even pull you down to his level. Make sure he doesn't "falsely" accept Christ just to make you feel better. Christ is not a dating instrument-- He is our Savior and Lord who died on the cross for us.\n\nPraise God for this strength that you have for seeking His heart! I wish you the best of luck through this, and pray that you'll find the man of God who will lead you spiritually in love and encouragement-- that is also the man of your dreams!

Yes, you most certainly can.  I even dated a devout Catholic goth guy.  The two are not mutually exclusive, since being "goth" has nothing to do with beliefs or morals.

Actually, christian dating, or courtship is biblical, if not somewhat overlooked by today's general population because of it's cry for purity and virginity. Someone mentioned polygamy and adultery in the old testament. Duh. People were human then too, but that didn't make their actions correct, nor can we base our personal lives and ok our actions on the sins of others.\n The story of Isaac and Rebecca in the old Testament is a great example. The wife was chosen in good taste by the parents for Isaac. Both Isaac and Rebecca had a voice as to whether or not they liked the other one. In the end, they were married, and they were pure!!!!!!! Yes, I belive in biblical courtship. Their is a good book, (Let the Bible be your first authority), on courting vs. dating. It is called "I KIssed Dating Goodbye" by Joshua Harris. No, I don't believe everything he believes, but he does have many good standards. \nI believe that you don't have to wear a veil over your face to be pure, nor, must you be amish. Purity starts in the mind and in the heart. \nSo, in conclusion, yes, I believe in dating biblically.

I am a Christian as well but I honestly dont see anything wrong with it. If two people love each other they should eb able to express it how they please, no matter what the orientation or preference is.

of course they do how do you think mix breeded cultures are forming? i don't recommend dating outside of religious culture just because of the difficulty of a sensitive topic. it would cause a lot of arguments and is considered wrong in most religions. as far as race who cares! it's just a skin tone. i actually rarely date with in my own race. i have two beautiful mixed children there are some people who think it's wrong but they are peole who are racist to begin with i don't have any worse experiences in relationships with people of other races than i do with relationships with men of my own race. men are men and women are women. you run into the same problems regardless of race.
