∙ 14y agoMembers of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" Church) marry whenever they have found someone they would like to marry, are of legal age, and are ready to make the commitment. The Church does not intervene in any way in relationships or marriages - it is up to the individual to develop relationships and find a spouse. Some marry as young as 18, and others never marry. Some don't marry until their 30's, 40's, or later. The average marriage age of Church members in the United States is mid-20's.

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. :)
