May 7 - 2 Corinthians 6:14-18

Do not be yoked together with unbelievers... when we're talking "yoked" we're speaking of a contraption used to bring the strength of two oxen together when using animals to pull a cart. If you're going to be "yoked" together or attached together you would like for the two oxen to move in the same direction. If each ox has a different belief system, then it is very hard to move at all and basically, you'll end up just arguing about moving at all - and never really get to moving towards something.

Can I date non-Christians? The answer here would be NO. Why?
What is dating for? To find a spouse (marriage)
If you have no interest in marriage then you shouldn't date (yet).
Can people find their future spouse while in high school? Yes. But they are few.. it's takes a lot of maturity to figure out who you are and who you are compatible with.. even people in their 20s have a hard time with that.

When you are "yoked" together, you're carrying a burden together and walking together? Think about it -- what kind of a person would you want to be "yoked" to?
