Just as the ancient Israelites were instructed not to marry out of the Hebrew nation, it was a protection that would help them continue in pure worship.Today, Jehovah's Witnesses are admonished (not forced) to heed this bible guidance:
1 Corinthians 7:39
A wife is bound as long as her husband is alive. But if her husband should fall asleep in death, she is free to be married to whomever she wants, only in the Lord.
Because of the many differences between Jehovah's Witnesses and most other religions, it really would be unwise to marry out of their religion. How will the children be raised? How would the non-believing mate & family regard the Jehovah's Witness not celebrating certain holidays?
It is the wiser course to marry someone who shares the same beliefs as you do. It will make fewer problems in the marriage.

Would the girl I like who is a Jehovah's Witness be allowed to date me a Catholic?
To the Jehovah Witnesses, they did not allow their members to date with the other groups of people. Like the Jewish, they recognize them as an alien people.To the Catholic,it may allow but they should not abandon their belief.It depends upon how they love each other and they will know what religion is really meant for them.Both religion believe Jesus Christ divinity but Jehovah witnesses had a superior which is the God the Father.They must both be a Christian in behavior.They must follow the word of Christ to love each other.

I really like this boy but he is a Jehovah's Witness and I'm not a religious person can he date me?
That will be up to him and his parents. However, Jehovah's witnesses generally do not encourage dating for their very young teenage (or pre-teenage) members since they view dating as something to be engaged in by those old enough to seriously contemplate marraige. Jehovah's Witnesses are encouraged to respect the bible mandate to marry only those that share their faith.
When is the next Jehovah's witnesses English assembly in Richmond?

How old does a Jerhovas Witness have to be to go out with someone who is not a Jerhovas Witness?
They can't date a non- Jehovah Wittness. It's not a matter of age, in general Jehovah's Witnesses do not date or marry people that are not of their faith. A minor child under the legal guard of an adult would of course be subject to their wishes. An adult is free to date at they chose but most Jehovah's Witnesses chose to respect the bible mandate to seek a partner who is a fellow worshipper of Jehovah.
Can a Jehovah witness date someone who is studying the faith?
There are many different type of Christianity based religions. Jehovah's Witnesses are one themselves. Being a christian is basically about believing that Christ was alive, and that he did come to earth at one point in time. The difference about Jehovah's witnesses and some other Christians is that Jehovahs witnesses believe that Christ was Jehovah's son, not God himself. And so, to answer your question, Jehovahs witnesses do not date girls or boys from different religions, Christian or not. If someone were to be in a relationship with a person who has a different god, it would almost be like he believes in that god as well. If a witness were to date a girl or boy of a different religion, it would be because he or she is not truly worshiping Jehovah.
