Well, it's not impossible. There are two kinds of Amish communities, the Old Order, which is EXTREMELY hard to get in, and the New Order, which is much easier. But still, it is extremely hard for outsiders to become Amish. You have to walk away from all the conveniences, such as TV, computers, telephones...even a radio! You must learn to speak German, and talk to the bishop on joining the community. Even after you have a farm in the Amish community, you will still suffer from the suspicions of most of the Amish people. They will not trust you at first, but if you prove your faith to the church, you will soon be accepted into the Amish community. In all, you must be patient, kind, and have complete faith in God. Good luck!

Can Amish women date men outside of the Amish belief?
There is no cut and dry answer to this question, both genders are compelled not to seek mates outside their faith, especially outsider English people in fear they will leave their Amish society. You can only date as Amish person another baptized member, to be baptized is to make a verbal contract obligation to the community and Amish society to stay. But do Amish woman and men date outsiders, yes, mostly in secrete. If it is known that the Amish person is dating a outsider, everything will be factor in letting such Amish person continue, from the desire the outsider interested in joining, to the Amish persons parents, but the greatest determination factor will come down from highest elder in the community. If a Amish person regardless of their age, does something like date a outsider, against the denial the elder, they first will be shunned and if it continues excommunicated with nothing and no family ties.
