If its just a date, without sex, I see no reason why a Christian cannot date an unbeliever. Lots of unbelievers have been converted because they met a Christian and started dating. got married etc etc.
Is that advice for your own teenage, Christian son/daughter? … or only for the Christian sons/daughters of others? ("It's okay to date non-believers, as long as you don't have sex with them")
Actual "dating" implies a desire and takes action - to move beyond simple friendship - or even seeking to share the Gospel of Christ with another person. Further, if one starts 'dating' a non-believer, they add an emotional component to their relationship that detracts from or diverts attention away from Jesus Christ. We all have anecdotal stories about Christians helping non-Christians open their lives to Christ. But, dating (and marriage) subject the believer to unnecessary and ill advised risks. Even one-on-one cross-gender Christian counseling is fraught with all kinds of ‘emotional risks’ … and should be avoided.
I've seen a number of your other posts and (because of the inconsistency of your response here) suspect that you responded without really thinking this one through (?)
If, you operate out of a position of love for each other.
It matters not, whether you prefer vanilla; And she loves chocolate.
You may want to hang the toilet paper away from the wall.
She might prefer to hang it against the wall.
But the most beneficial, would be in that of having toilet-paper!
Not in whether you believe, she will break a nail against your wall.
Or, scratch the paint on the surface of what you believe to be true.
Some people are butt-heads, thinking they have all the answers.
It's time to put away condemnation and accept the differences; For love never fails.
Even better, follow God and His instructions for we who follow Him.
God say's:Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
Man say's:It matters not, whether you prefer vanilla; And she loves chocolate. It's time to put away condemnation and accept the differences; For love never fails.
Whom shall we serve? God or man?
Who knows best? God or man?
Who's counsel will you follow? God or man?
You see it's not about being "butt heads" as you call people. It's about doing things God's way over your way.

Would you like a candle for that dark bathroom?
"If love fails, than your focus is somewhere else."
The Porcelain god of humanity, never ceases to amaze me.
Well she flaked out this morning. She was too hungover. Oh well, it was worth a shot.
Went to brunch with a lady from church. I guess she found out from the other girl at church that I am not a virgin. First thing out of her mouth was "why do you want a Christian girl if you believe in pre marital sex?"
Think its time i find a new church home :/
