[Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness? What harmony is there between Christ and Belial? Or what does a believer have in common with an unbeliever? What agreement is there between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said: "I will live with them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be my people. Therefore, "Come out from them and be separate," says the Lord. Touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you. 2 Corinthians 6:14-17]
A lot of girls think that they can get into a relationship with a non-Christian guy and not be affected by him. They think that maybe they could change him and make him become a Christian. Or, they think, "We're just in high school, it's not like we're gonna get married". God doesn't want you to be "tied" to unbelievers. His Word is clear that we should not form bonding relationships with unbelievers. Marriage is the ultimate binding relationship. God does not want you to be tied to an unbeliever in marriage. And since you should only date someone who you would potentially marry, you shouldn't date non-Christians either. You start a relationship with someone who isn't a Christian thinking that you can change them, but in reality, they start to change you. You find yourself compromising on your standards. You start to drift away from God because your relationship doesn't have Him at the center. Your boyfriend isn't a Christian so his way of living doesn't line up with the Bible and he convinces you that certain things are "okay" to do or it's "okay" to act a certain way. You start to believe him and before you know it, your relationship with your boyfriend is much more important than your relationship with your Savior. As much as you hate to admit it, you're not even worried about following God anymore. You're just worried about not ruining your relationship with your boyfriend. Truth be told, your relationship is probably going to end. Because God isn't the most important thing in your relationship, you start to get selfish. You think that you're supposed to be the most important thing in your relationship. When in reality, God is supposed to be the most important. You can save yourself a lot of heartbreak if you avoid dating someone you wouldn't potentially marry just for fun. When there's a guy who wants to date you, or who you want to date, I'd encourage you to first seek the counsel of God, your parents, your pastor, and other godly people whom you trust.
