God wants you to acknowledge Him in everything you do (For I can do all things thru Christ which strengthens me). Our life here is in service to Him and not ourselves. If I have alienated anyone, it is only those who do not have a regard for what Scripture actually says. For surely it is better to play it safe with one's walk with God then to do something that can potentially hurt your relationship with Him. In other words, it's like letting your child not doing certain things that can be potentially dangerous. Yes, there is a point where they need to do things themselves, but there has to be a level of care on the part of the parents to not let them do certain things so as to protect their child from harm. It's the same with God and His good ways. Doing the best possible good for the Lord in every given situation should not be criticized but it should be encouraged.
yeah but it's not right to derail BritishDaves thread this far.. 
Again, I am on topic (except in answering briefly those people who are attempting to change the subject). I have given my views as to why I would not take an unbeliever to the prom as a date (or even to date). While it is not a law or commandment not to date an unbeliever, we are not given the okay in Scripture to marry unbelievers or to have close fellowship with them. In fact, the Scripture suggests otherwise. So while we have a liberty in Christ, not all things are profitable. I believe asking an unbeliever on a date falls under this category. I believe it is better to walk the higher road with the Lord instead of taking your chances.

Who knows how much further we'll go on
Maybe I'll be sorry when you're gone
I'll take my chances
I forgot how nice romance is
I haven't been there for the longest time
Nothing ventured, nothing gained. The guy who hid the talent in the ground from fear of his master was afraid to take a chance as well.

Where did I say that he was unsaved? I never said that. What I am saying is that while he has a liberty in Christ to ask her on a date so as to lead her to the Lord, he does not have a liberty to date her for carnal based reasons or with a worldly based mindset. God has to be involved at some point soon in the connection being made with this person he wants to ask out. If not, then it is a wrong type of relationship that is not God focused but worldly focused.
At this age, kids are having kids. When that happens, they have to grow up fast (Which changes their life entirely). For the heart is deceitful and desperately wicked and who can know it? This is why only the Lord knows a person's heart and not you. For example: Who would have ever thought David (a man after God's own heart and who took down the giant named "Goliath") would have ever committed murder and adultery? That is what I am talking about. Even a great man of God like David was not free from falling into temptation or sin. So it is best to avoid such a scenario that could lead one down the wrong path. Again, I am not saying he cannot ask her out on a date. But it must be with the focus of trying to evangelize her. It must be with the focus that he will not build any attachment to her unless she becomes a believer. For what fellowship does light have with darkness? For I guarantee you, that his time will not be fruitful for God's purposes and plans if he focuses on just pleasing his carnal or worldly nature with her (Whether it appears to be just a harmless date or in doing more than that).
