Mormons firmly believe that marraige should be between a man and a woman only. But even if a Mormon meets a gay couple, he or she won't ridicule or harass the couple just because they believe that gay marraige should not happen. They know where they stand on the matter of gay marraige, but don't try and force their opinion on others.

Can Mormons not date non-Mormons even if the girl is willing to convert when she marries and goes to stake dances and has a lot of Mormon friends?

Mormons can date whomever they want, but are encouraged to date other members of the church. Dating can lead to marriage, and Mormons believe that if you marry in the temple, you can be sealed to your spouse for eternity. However, both individuals must be members of the church in order to be sealed in the temple. If you are willing to convert, why wait until marriage? If you have a testimony, join the church now, and then you don't have to worry about not being able to date Mormons because you will be one. :)

Are Mormon girls forced to marry at young ages?

No, definitely not. Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) are NEVER told when or whom to marry. Church leaders follow a strict policy of never pressuring an individual or couple into marriage. The average marriage age among Mormons in the United States is in the mid 20's. Most Mormons in the US have graduated from University studies or served as missionaries for the Church before considering marriage. In other nations, the age varies depending on the local culture. Still, quite a high percentage of Mormons don't marry until their 30's or 40's, and some never marry at all. A Church leader will NEVER approve of or perform a marriage in which the bride or groom is under the legal age. Marriage and family are very important in Mormon culture.
