It depends upon the denomination of the church. Roman Catholic priests are exclusively male and are not allowed personal relationships with women as they vow celibacy at their ordination. However, other denominations (such as Anglican and Episcopalian, and Methodists) all allow their priests and ministers (male and female) to marry and therefore, unless there is another reason why not (e.g. he or she is already dating or is married!!) it would be well within the 'rules' to date if he or she agrees.

Catholic AnswerAll priests make a vow of celibacy before they are ordained. If they are not Latin Rite priests, they may be married BEFORE they are ordained, but no priests may marry after they are ordained. Assuming that you are speaking of "dating" as going out with a woman with marriage in mind, then, obviously no.Add your answer:

Does it go against the Christian belief for a Priest or religious figure to date?
The word "priest" in a context of Christianity usually refers to a Roman Catholic clergyman. Catholic priests are sworn to celebacy, so they should not be associating with the opposite sex in a romantic way. There are other denominations (e. g. Anglican) that sometimes call clergy priests but do allow them to marry. Of course a single Anglican priest would be able to date while deciding WHOM to marry.
