I'd explain it to you but based on past experience it would be wasted hours of endless jason0047 is the authority on scripture and nothing would change, you wouldn't get it and I could never get the time back so biblically speaking it is unwise for me to debate with you.....at least that is the nudge I get any way.
Again, there is nothing to worry about (or no courage to muster up) or nothing to blunder if she says... "no" because he cannot be with her in any capacity because she is not a believer in Jesus Christ. Believers are not to hang out with unbelievers and get close to them. For the Scriptures say do not be unevenly yoked with unbelievers. For what fellowship does light have with darkness?

I'm really sorry British Dave but I am afraid that you are not allowed to date. We are putting our heads together and are going to come up with a suitable mate for you and we will prearrange your marriage to her. This way it will take all of the pressure off of you....furthermore, You better not let me catch you playing cards, going to movies or any other nefarious activity young man.
First, r u a Christian.Second, u want her 2 be open 2 relationship with Jesus Christ.Not religion.Three, i would pray 4 Gods will 2 unfold,not yours.The bible states not 2 be unequally yoked.What can someone who is living in the light of Christ,have with someone who is living in darkness.Also let your intention be 2 lead her 2 the truth of Gods Word and salvation and always if u can let someone else court u both so there is no problem of both of u being alone.Always use Gods guidance and wisdom.Amen gbu 2.
Man and woman were created to be joined together in marriage. You can't be close with a member of the opposite sex and plan on it lasting forever if you do not plan to marry. If your goal is not focused on that, then you are thinking the wrong way. Every date should have that in view. If not, then you are thinking like the world thinks.
As for cards and movies: Well, these things should involve God and His good ways in some form or fashion. Nothing we do should not involve God. Everything we do should be focused with that goal in mind. For whatever is not of faith is sin. For example: If one watches a movie, can you say it is it a God honoring film? Can you say that it is a movie that you can use as a witness for Christ? Is playing a card game allow you a chance to talk with someone about Christ?

I think we do Jason a disservice to single Jason out for an outpouring of dismissive remarks.
Jason's basic premise that all that we do should be primarily focused on pleasing God is something most of us share; and which those who don't should. Looking at Jason's comments, I see more concern with not doing things for the wrong reasons than with not doing things. As I see it this is neither legalistic nor judgmental! I disagree strongly with the concept of sheltering young believers from life experiences necessary for maturity rather than teaching them how to honor the Lord while living in the world. I do NOT disagree with the premise that all believers should consider their motives before acting.

However.....sometimes taking out the garbage is just taking out the garbage.
If you are saying that Jason's posts seem to be condescending (and ought not to be defended); I thought so to until I went back and paid close attention to what he was saying.. If you are saying that something in the way he presents himself irritates you; I remind you that we are called to emulate Jesus; who died for us while we were quite unlovely.
