I would seriously pray, and wait...and if anything confide in a female christian friend. One who may be stronger in God than you are..they will keep you accountable. Myself, i do feel that my dating non christians, while they were fun..while they were less stuffy than many of their church going bible believing counterparts..caused me more heartache than it was worth. I too was smitten, I too wanted to make it ok, or say..hey she's cooler than most christian girls i have met. While that was all true and very evident, she didn't have Jesus. So no matter how fun, how pretty..how exciting and awesome of a person she was, she didn't have jesus..didn't want Jesus..and ended up breaking up with me. And I was furious for a short while..now i am glad she did. I wish she would have honestly ignored me from the get go. But i learned a lot from the situation. As a neighbor in Christ, i will not spare you the truth..dating a non christian will be nothing but a distraction and a heartache. I say this with love and with very recent experience in this department. I'd rather be alone for a little while longer, or even a longer while longer if it takes that..than comprimise again. Even those who say they follow Jesus, you don't know where they're at. So many don't even have a biblical worldview! Trust me, i met a gal recently who i thought was all about Jesus, and she's like, "I know that the bible speaks against homosexuality, but how could God turn his back on me for simply loving someone'?
Mind you I had thought i met the most amazing christian gal. She is still a great person, but very confused and with a very unbiblical worldview. I say this in a non judgemental manner. But being honest...She's not the person she marketed herself to be. And neither is anyone who goes to church,works at a church..has a wwjd bracelet or Jesus shirt on. These things take time to find out, and one truly needs discernment on the matter. Because these times are evil.
