You see, I'm a 19 yr ol guy preparing for Medical school (my main goal). I have been raise in strong Christian values. This may sound stupid, but do you'll think I should date Christian girls or is it ok to date any girl. What is your opinion? My parents warn me all the time about girls and finishing school.

There are many young people who do not have the joy of a home with loving parents. Through no fault of their own, they have been denied this great blessing. If you have a mother and dad who are concerned and interested in your dating and courtship, it is because they LOVE YOU AND DO CARE. The next time they offer suggestions about your dating, THINK THEM OVER TWICE. In all possibility, you can BENEFIT from their EXPERIENCE, THEIR FRANKNESS, AND THEIR PRAYERS.
God bless!

We have something in common, I too am preparing for medical school....14 years after graduating from high school. Why? you ask, I met a man and fell head over heels and started a family. Do I regret it? yes, no, yes, no, :(
I love my boys with all my heart and I would never give any of them up for the world, same goes for my husband. But do I intensely wish I could have gone straight through to college and then on to medical school without burdens when it would have been much easier. Yes. This is a very personal decision for you and you should give it a great deal of thought. My husband was not a Christian and his desires did not coalesce with my own more often than not. Your parents are warning you because they probably remember the fire and passion that can be so distracting. Somehow studying for hours does not seem so desireable when you could be holding an attractive, desireable person who thinks you make the world turn. Medical school will insure a certain type of life for you, one in which you can care for your future spouse, children, and leave a legacy for grandchildren. It is a wonderful goal. When you make your decision, I hope you feel at peace with your choice. Good luck and God bless.

I believe you should date only Christian girls. The divorce rate is over 50% and there are so many problems to deal with in a marriage yet alone religion
"Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?" - 2 Corinthians 6:14.
I will be adding you to my prayer list for a while that you may find a woman who is a believer, sometimes hard to find but worth far more than rubies!
Read Proverbs 31:

Well it would be better to date christian girls, if you were to date someone that is not a christian it could affect you, and it may not be for the best. Most of the time their worldly ways will affect you in a bad way....unless you pray a sincere prayer and God puts you with a girl who is not a christian and you are able to lead her to Christ.

I"ll give you the same advice I gave my son. Learn to be friends with girls and don't worry about having a girlfriend until you accomplish at least part of what you desire with your life. The best relationships are based upon good friendships. Learning how to be a friend will make the relationship more permanent when it happens. Also, remember, God has a mate for you. Sometimes we try so hard to have a relationship we lose track of that. When we move along the path God desires us to follow we encounter the right person for us at the right time.

You shouldn't limit your dating preferences to ONLY strong Christian girls. However, after you go out with someone a couple of times and the subjects of spirituality and religion come up, you shouldn't continue to see them if their beliefs are totally different from yours and they are opposed to any kind of change or compromise. Anyone who is worth dating with the intention to marry will compromise in some way to make you happy, just as you would do.

hi , there is nothing WRONG in dating a girl who isn't a christian. u can always stick to ur beliefs. but its better to date christians as u r brought up in such an environment it would be easier for a christian girl to know u, ur background, who u r, what ur roots r etc... and u might also be able to relate better. but if in some special case u do fall in love with a non christian then use ur head whether u will be able to adjust, whther its practical. if so, go ahead.
but as long as u dont fall head over heels in love, just stick to dating christians, why bring unnecessary complications?

Of course you should finish school. You ought not date any girl who is not a very deeply committed Christian. And you need to deepen your faith in regular fellowship with the Lord. It will be a strong test of your commitment to the Lord, and to your academic goals to date a girl. You will have to discipline yourself strongly, and that is not always easy at your age. God be with you.

I think you should do what you feel is right for you. Dating a Christian girl would probably be best though in my opinion. You will know what you have in common and where she stands on certain issues. It will be one less problem for you because your main concern should be your education. That's going to take a lot of time and effort.
God Bless.

I think it is wise to date Christians, because you have a already made foundation for your relationship. Girls who are not Christians(sometimes not, always.) can be more persuasive and try to tempt you to do things against your beliefs and as a christian you still can be tempted and fall into temptation.
