FOrget what your pastor, friend, parent or teacher says for a moment and let God speak on his own behalf through His own words (using King James version because its the closest to the original):
2 Corinthians 6
14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,
18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
So, how many ways did God say we should not be unequally yoked with unbelievers?
(1) Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: (2) for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and (3) what communion hath light with darkness? And (4) what concord hath Christ with Belial? or (5) what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? And (6) what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? (7) for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
Interpret it whatever way you want but it seems clear what God was saying. If we are not to marry non Christians, then we should not start relationships with them.
This sounds so limiting If you believe God created the world in six days, you can be sure He will find you a life partner that suits you, which does not have to contradict His own instructions (repeated seven times in seven different ways in case you missed the point).
That's mean to unbelievers What is meaner is that if we presume you are Christian, you must believe that we are sinners, deserving of Hell but only through Jesus Christ dying on the cross for us we can be saved. If we presume that is what you believe, what is meaner is when you don't seek as your first priority as bringing your girlfriend or boyfriend to salvation first. They are heading to hell and all you care about is your feelings for her?
If you want to proceed with marriage with a non Christian, be prepared to have Satan as your father in law.
