How hard would it be for a Christian to date an atheist? Should a Christian date an atheist? Would you? (speaking from a Christian perspective)

My boyfriend of two years recently began going out with female coworkers to drink and have a good time. I got a little annoyed and voiced my concerns; why aren’t we hanging out? Why are you going out late? Why are you drinking? Because I am not really into drinking and because of a horrid hangover he had months back he hasn’t had too many drinks in a while either. So after he calmed me down about the situation, told me he loved me etc. he went out and did it again. I was confused and hurt. I knew the girls he was going out with but he had never gone out before and not invited me or informed me of his plans. I became so angry that I asked him if he wanted a break. I then said I don’t want one but it seems like you do. So he didn’t respond until the next day. He called me and his voice sounded weird. It had no emotion. He said he had been thinking about taking a break for weeks. The thing is he hadn’t acted like he had wanted one. He said he wanted one bc I didn’t trust him (I guess referring to being out late drinking…. I did trust him I just felt uncomfortable with the whole situation) he said religion was a factor ( he believes in science and god and I am a christian) he said I hadn’t been coming over to his house, he had only been coming to see me, he said our work schedules were too different etc. So I said do you want a break or are you breaking it off with me? He said he just needed time and not to contact him. So I asked if it had to do with us not having sex (we have done literally everything else but he knew from the moment we met that I was waiting until marriage to have sex.) and he said that had to do with it as well. The day after he changed our facebook relationship to “it’s complicated” to “single” though he left up a paragraph he had written about me and how he can’t wait to spend the rest of his life with me and left up pictures of us together. So as upsetting as it was it appeared that he really did need to sort things out. The next day i signed into facebook to discover that he had deleted the paragraph about me and replaced it with “i’m a free soul looking for another free soul.” He deleted every picture of me. He didn’t call me, message me, text me, come over…… nothing. He basically broke up with me on facebook. So I deleted him. I guess I’m just so confused bc he never pushed me into having sex he respected my boundaries and enjoyed the physical contact that we had shared. A few days before he wanted a break he had even taken me to the eye doctor and driven me home/ took care of me after my eyes had been dialated. The weekend before he helped my sister and family move all of her things into her new place. We had gone to Dave and Busters and morphed our photos together to see what our child would look like. He always talked about our future and our children and marrying me. I don’t honestly think he said that to have sex with me because he held out for two years. But I am just confused by his actions. Am I supposed to just move on? And how can I move on when he never confirmed that he didn’t want to be with me and why he was moving on. I understand he and I are broken up but it doesn’t feel real bc he never actually did the breaking up. He just left me high and dry. I called him/ texted him to get him to say “we’re done” but he never answered. We always talked about what would happen if I were to run from him and he always said “I will never let you go, I will chase you.” But we never talked about what I should do if he ran. I feel like showing up at his house would be weird but I need closure. And what happens if he comes crawling back? I honestly thought he was the one. We had fun doing such mundane things together like grocery shopping, taking my cat to the vet etc. We hadn’t been having any problems until he started going out. It was like a bomb had gone off.

Someone give me advice and insight. Please be honest but kind :]

I’ve been dating this guy who is wonderful… all the sudden he’s telling me that he feels that our relationship has gotten too physical and rather than dating we should be courting (hes a good christian guy) … WTF I don’t even know what courting is, is it gonna change my relationship?

I joined the online dating industry in the hopes of finding someone special because I just seem to find it so difficult to speak to women. But if I’m introduced to a female friend, I can easily make a conversation with them. I joined the site Plentyoffish, having tried sites like match.com etc but realised I was going wrong with my message subjects “Hi”. Should have been more unique and so I’m getting quite good at messages now and do get a few responses. However I’m struggling with writing my profile. I never lie, because honesty is something I value. Its just sometimes I think do people think I’m someone who is “too good to be true” (not being biggeaded or anything) but in a way that I am quite a young guy, who doesn’t really enjoy the clubbing scene much but enjoys making people laugh and smile, staying in with a DVD etc..

I usually put I’m a romantic minded guy who is a true gentlemen (it seems many women don’t think young gentlemen exist anymore but I can’t exactly blame you because of the amount of times i’ve seen people put that their bf cheated or lied too them). Its now as if all guys are branded the same “just after one thing” and I don’t know if women think I am lieing or “putting on an act” to try and impress them and then use them or cheat/lie. I’m just myself but I believe in respect for others and I treat others as they treat me.

We’ve been going pretty steady for a long time and the relationship is really deep (the ‘L word’ has been said by both of us), but as far as religion goes, we’re almost polar opposites. Everytime I try to talk to him about my faith, he just kinda blows it off because he doesn’t agree with my beliefs. How do I tell him that I don’t want to convert him, I do want to discuss each other’s faiths, and that my faith is important to me and it hurts me when he blows me off?

hi there, im a 15 year old girl and just recently started dating a non christian guy and i REALLY like him. hes so nice and sweet to me and out of all my past boyfriends has treated me BY FAR the best. he is seriously everything i want accept…he’s not a christian. i know the bible says do not be unevenly yoked but i thought that applied to marriage. i am concerned that if what i’m doing is disobeying God that if i die while dating him i will go to hell. PLEASE help me (Christians only answer please)

I have been dating this guy for about a year. God has honestly told me that i dont need to be in a relationship with a guy right now and says i need to end it. I want to marry this guy i LOVE him to death and i want him to wait for me until God says its okayy to start dating, But that seems so selfish and i dont know what to do. I really dont want to break up with him and im just scared because i know im not listening to God. What do i do?

Bible times/most of human history = relatively young age marriage, have sex in the teens as husband and wife

Nowadays = Don’t marry until you have a degree, a good job, a steady income, a car, house down payments, don’t marry until mid 20’s or beyond, average age of marriage = 28… ~95% of people have pre-marital sex.

1 Corinthians 7:9: “If they cannot exercise self-control, they should marry. For it is better to marry than to burn with passion.”

Given that there is a statistically a ~95% premarital sex rate with todays current dating system, how can Christians support it’s use in its current form?
