Disobedience of God's commands is probably Number One. (II Corinthians 6:14)
By allowing this, their morals, and not yours will be affected. Their standards aren't the same as yours, and should dating follow its logical conclusion, a marriage between an unbeliever and a believer can have disastrous effects.
Arguments over tithes, raising children in the faith, etc., almost always come up, and often divorce is the tragic result.
This being the case, why bother starting off dating?

Not making it to first base, or second base during the first date.
Having to think all night instead of rolling in the hay?
Not catching any disease?
Not bathing before the date? Not brushing ones teeth could be dangerous.
There are no dangers in dating non Christians.
There are dangers from ignorant jerks - as any dating couple will tell you.

If you are secure and well grounded in your faith there really isn't any danger. If you don't have much of an idea of what your faith consist of or don't practice it much then ther might be a danger in you losing your faith but that really wouldn't be a danger because you don't have much faith to begin with. There are millions of people in the world who are not Christian and are very good people and there are millions of Christians out there who are terrible people so it would reallly be impossible to say dating a non-Christian person is dangerous only because they are not Christian.

Dangers?! Um... I feel sorry for all the kids at your school...
I suppose: They wouldn't want to go to church or pray with you. You may be upset that you love them, yet they're going to hell. They may have low moral standards. They may not agree with some of your beliefs, and this could cause you to argue. They may well believe in sex before marriage, and possibly other practices in relationships that you do not agree with. If you get married, they may not be against divorce, so may have differing views as to what the marriage symbolises.
I'm not a Christian, and I'm sure that most of what I just wrote is Bullsh*t but whatever.

Most of the above answers say that you will lose your own faith. Why? Do you not have faith in yourself and in your inherent belief?
How will interacting daily with someone with a different beief system upset your applecart unless the wheels of your cart are not securely fastened?
My Wife & I are of different beliefs. We have respect foe each other, and each other's faiths. we also hold discussions regarding these beliefs, as well as those that conflict with our own.
In an adult relationship, where respect in tantamount, the only true, lasting and real effect of this relationship will be the children, how they will be raised, and under which faith they should succumb.
We are letting our daughter decide on her own.

Probably only if you eventually felt you wanted to be with them for life, yet the difference would pose too much of an obstacle. Thus the danger is to the heart.

The same dangers there are for dating a Christian. People are people no matter what they believe or claim they believe. I am afraid you are being brainwashed into an us versus them mentality which leads to bigotry and hatred.

The danger in dating anyone who isn't strong in their faith is that you lose your own. Sometimes it's so subtle that you don't realize you've been led astray until you've lost who you are. That is true of dating anyone who doesn't share your basic morals and principals. You can refer to the scripture about being unevenly yoked if you need a quote from the Bible.

wow, ... i went to a christian school for 12 yrs, and a public for 1,
(K-11 private/12th public) and in my opinion, theres not that much of a difference. each group has its own that will push u to do things u dont want, and each group has its own that will respect your beliefs and what not. however i saw a lot more pot and talk about sex at my christian school then i did at the public.

Oh man, can you get your parents to transfer you to another school? If not, just make something up for now - this report is bogus! Then run like hell after you graduate.
Here's my 2 cents - the danger is that you might start thinking, and realize that you've hitched your wagon to a sham star.
