Yes, of course you can date a Catholic girl without changing your religion. If you decide to marry, she will have to get a dispensation from her bishop to marry a non-Catholic and you will have to marry according to the rules of the Catholic Church. You will also both have to agree with the Catholic understanding of what marriage is: open to children, faithful to each other, and lifelong.

One caution to anyone who is contemplating entering into a religiously mixed marriage is not to take such a step lightly. Religion is very basic and will affect more aspects of your life together than you may realize. At the very least, make an effort to understand each other's religions and settle ahead of time the question of how children will be religiously educated.

The Catholic Church does not require that Catholics date or marry other Catholics. Rather, the Church sees the marriage (and one has to assume the church recognizes dating as a precursor to this) between a Catholic and a non-Catholic as a "special blessing." While in past centuries this might not have been true--when there was a focus on conversion and not dialogue--the modern church understands the value of all religions and world views.
