Stuck in a situation, need help!

[Jonah84]

Hello, my name is Jonah, and I am 14 years old, yes I realize that I am young for this forum, but no one in the young teen was replying. I have recently started liking this girl (2-3 weeks ago) and I kept talking to her and got to know her. I asked her out 3 days ago and she said yes (YES!) but I have a problem. Her parents dont take her to church, and she is not a Christian. My problem is here. I want to tell my parents that I have a girlfriend, but dont know what they'll do. I am scared and having troubles with getting courage to tell them. I do believe that if I told them that they might let me take her to church with me some Sundays or Thursday (weekly and Sunday services) but dont think they will approve of her, as she isnt a christian like stated before. Although she is not a christian, she believes in a lot of the same beliefs we as christians believe in. Please someone help me. I mean she means a lot to me. She likes me because of my personality, and the looks are just a plus but ya. I need help with how to tell them, and what you think they would do. I really need guts to do this. Please reply, I really need help!

Just go for it. Telling your parents sooner will just make it easier, make sure you don't wait too long. As far as the religion issue goes, don't address it unless you have to. Especially seeing as you just started the relationship, I would advise against trying to bring her to church.

But I know they will ask as one of the first questions about her.

Man, if you don't have the guts to talk to your parents about this, you're probably not old enough to be dating in the first place... actually, I know you're not. I know it's hard to control those hormones. But, speaking from experience, EVERY SINGLE (six) relationship I ever had prior to turning 17/18 failed. Granted, now I know who I'm going to marry. But it took a long road of pain and heartbreak to get here.

I recommend laying off for a few years at least. It'll be good. Dating that young is nigh impossible.

I would save yourself for marriage to a good christian girl!

Hey, I'm younger than yous but I've liked this guy for 2 months and even if he asked me out I would have to decline because he isn't Christian and his actions prove it. I could never marry someone who wasn't going to live for Christ (my life plan at the moment) let alone believe in what the bible says about Him. Anyway what I'm trying to say is marriage should involve the guarding and strengthening of each others souls. You cannot do this if you are worshipping different beings/things. You should tell your parents and read the bible and learn from the wisdom in each.
