Is it OK to date non-Christians?

This is a confusing topic.. I do not believe in dating non-christians, and I've always been very strong on this. (I have posted similar forum discussions before, so if you want the whole story please look me up and post there) BUT, i met a Non christian boy. Because I believed in not dating a non christian, and because of the way God has used me to minister to others about wise dating, I did not go out with him. 4 months later, I gave in and eventually said yes to going out with him. We are still together today. Although I have not felt God convicting me as such about this matter, I still don't believe that it is right, because of what the Bible says about it. I have tried to break things off with him several times,and despite honest attempts it never seems to work. He respects my beliefs and my decision to wait until marriage for sexual relations. But that doesnt justify going out with him.. I do NOT want to marry a non christian. I CAN see myself marrying my boyfriend, but not whilst he is not committed to the Lord. Then WHY am I with him? Its so confusing and very hard to break things off, and as I said before, trying to break it off with him has not worked, the last attempt being on Saturday night.At a point, I thought of this as a sign.."maybe we shouldnt break up" But..Why would God want something that he says in the Bible to avoid?Being with him is not affecting my relationship with the Lord, but that again does not make it right... Please, can you all pray for me for strength and guidance. What should I do? What are your thoughts?

well, Faithfull.. its quite easy.
God has got a plan for us all, even for your bf. right now, things are going fine between you and him. so why breaking up? that wouldnt make sense to me personally. i mean, just because the Bible says it doesnt make it a right decision. you know why? because the Bible isnt full of rules and laws. its Gods hand. God has gave us life, a playground where we can play around. we just got to stay between the lines that He draw. so my advice to you is to stop thinking about breaking off, or him being a non christian and just live your life with him and listen to your feelings.. because thats where the Holy Spirit lives ;)

you will be in my prayers!

ps to you all: i still didnt get the chance to approach the girl at school that i have a crush on :sorry:
