Not wrong exactly. The Bible warns christians not to 'be yoked' with people of other faiths or indeed no faith because it can cause problems. I know christians married to non-believers who find it hard not to be able to share the major part of their lives together. The advice is not to act on those feelings. Being obedient brings blessings, but God is gracious, a lot of people think you 'get punished' for breaking 'the rules,' but this is a guideline to protect you, it's not a law!

The Bible states that "you should not be unequally yoked" and that "Bad company can corrupt good morals".

What does unequally yoked mean? It means that if you are a born again Christian and she isn't that you should not date or marry her.

Why not? Look at the lesson of Solomon. When he married women that worshipped other gods, they kept on doing so after they got married. If Solomon could not teach his women how to change, what make you think that you will change her?

Let's extend this out a few years. Let's say that you never talk about Jesus and get married. You have a few children and you are ready to talk to them about Jesus.

After you give the talk, they ask Mom what she thinks about it and she shrugs it off.

Now, who are your children going to believe? You or mom?

Let's extend this even further. Your marriage sours and divorce is around the corner. She complains to the judge that you are some fanatic and the judge listens to her.
