Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) are encouraged to date people with the same moral standards, preferably of the same faith. There are several reasons for this. First, you marry who you date. Those who marry people with the same religious and moral beliefs tend to have happier relationships and stronger families. The family is the most fundamental unit of society, when the institution of the family falls apart, society does also.
Second, Mormons have very high moral standards based on Biblical principles. If you are dating people without these high standards, the chances that you will let go of your morals are much higher. The Church does not want it's members to fall into sin, and surrounding yourself with people of high moral standards is one of the best ways to avoid sin.

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. :)

Yes it is allowed. Each member makes their own choice of who they do and do not date.

They date members who, if they fall in love, they can be married to in an LDS temple for time and all eternity. Only LDS members of the church who live righteous LDS standards can enter the temple. It's really very romantic. These members choose to find a love that can last forever, not just 'till death do they part'.
