Dating wouldn't pull me away from God, would it?

Question - (2 July 2006) 3 Answers - (Newest, 3 July 2006)
A female , anonymous writes:

I am a very strong Christian if you get different strengths). My dad's a vicar and I have set up and run the Christian union. I'm friends with many people and because of me many people have become Christians.

But my best friend, who is a lad, is not a Christian. I talk to him about everything, and he seems to be pretty open about it, coming along to church groups and discussing it all the time with me.

The thing is he told me he wants me to be his girlfriend, and I so want to date him more, than anything. I only think it will pull him in closer and there's no way it will pull me away from God. However others say that this is what everyone says and that it will never work! Parents say they don't encourage it but they love me whatever I choose. please help - I dunno what to do.

Hot (Advice) agony auntOh, tis a tough one that! Well honey, I guess God can sometimes use situations to the best advantage. Maybe here, He wants you to date this guy so he can become a christian. But you don't want to be forcing the issue on him. As you are strong in your faith as you say, you are in a much better position then if you hadn't been a christian for long. But in my understanding it is generally better to have a strong christian man in a relationship to lead you. I think you will date this guy regardless of what people may say. If you are strong enough, then go for it. I wish you all the best...don't sell yourself short though honey, it isn't worth it, but hope this works out for you. Take care! xx

harshbutfair agony auntI don't believe in a God and certainly not a Christian god. So you may want to take my words with a pinch of salt.

Surely you're best off making your own decisions rather than trying to second-guess some Big Fella you believe in. If He's that all powerful I'm sure he'll let you know you're on the wrong path when you're dating.

Maybe by giving you pins and needles or something?
