My thought is that for a follower of Christ, there is nothing "worth" dating in someone who doesn't also follow Christ. The Bible is pretty implicit about this. The other stuff might be nice, but it's not WORTH yolking yourself with if it comes at the cost of cooling your relationship with Christ. What happens when you mix warm water with cool water? Depending on the mix, the cool water may get a lot warmer, or it may not, but the warm water only EVER gets cooler. You will never do better in your walk with God by romantically pursuing someone who rejects truth. If one is more attracted to lies than to truth, then they simply aren't following Christ, calling themselves a "believer" or not. Their Spiritual state is obviously not after Christ's heart, so they aren't really a Christian. Just calling themselves one.

I know how it feels to be hopeless and filled with despair about wanting a relationship, but as much of a problem as that was for me, I know that I needed God far more than I needed any woman or human relationship. I'll pray that that becomes your number one priority. When it does, it pulls other priorities back into place and you will find, in God's timing, that He will provide exactly what you need at the best time for it to happen (for whatever reason).
