As long as they accept the others difference. WWII destroyed my fathers faith, but it strengthened my Step mothers faith, and they lasted together for 31 years, until my dad died.

It depends on the Christian and non-Christian. If the Christian is truly dedicated and the other resists then there will be problems, but if respect and flexibility exist (as it should) then it can work out fairly well. Generally speaking, most of the time the situation does not remain as you stated. One is either converted or falls away from being a faithful Christian, depending on which of the two has a stronger foundation for their ideology.

It is according to whether both of you, can accept the other,and respect the others view point. If, during your relationship, you find that there are any remarks that seem like "My thoughts are better or more important than yours". You should not continue the relationship. You have to go with your gut, and listen to hints that may come from the other person, that they are not tolerant of the other persons beliefs. Don't ignore red lights, you will find that these red lights will cause really "hit on the head with a hammer" emotions and by that time, you could have made a commitment. I am going to be honest with you, if you are a very strong "Christian" I, personally do not feel that it would end up by being a good relationship. That is just my opinion.
Best of luck.
I am not judging you or Christianity, I just feel that is according to how strongly you belief in the Christian faith.

Marriage ? No, better christian and christian. Some christians think the non-christian will change in the future but ends as a non-christian and former-christian.
Business relationships?
Sometimes, keep your eyes open and the books audited.

Yes, I suppose it could.
Mine didn't, but I suppose for someone else it could.
There are many things to discuss though such as if you are going to be wed in which religion will this be done? Are both parties willing to take vows in the other's ceremony so it is felt deeply by both? If you have children, which religion will you raise them in? Which holy days (holidays) will you celebrate? Will both families know of religious choices? How is birth control viewed, is it an option?
And all that goes on top of the regular relationship questions.

Dating or Marriage: No. The Bible teaches that everyone who does not call on the name of the Lord Jesus will go into eternal damnation (there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth). Why would any Christian (who truly believes the Bible) want to spend their live loving and getting that emotionally connected to someone destined for that eternity? The marriage would be torture for any true Christian.
Any other relationship: Sure. It's called evangelism.

I've been in plenty of relationships with people of different religious beliefs. In my opinion it comes down to this:
YES, it is possible that such a relationship can work out. There are plenty like this already.
BUT if one of people in question truly believes that the other one is in some kind of danger because of their beliefs (whether the danger is metaphysical, intellectual, etc.) then it's not going to work.
