They marry when they want to, and some never get married.

But there is some pressure to get married, by once own self as dating allowed, but not consummation before marriage.

Parents also want to be grand parents, more so in society, which believes God has ordered them to spreed their prodigy across the land.

There is no push to get married young, one has to be baptised as part community body of Jesus Christ followers to marry, but marriages may happen at any age that is legal with parents consent on up.

But the worse part of all this, is those that can not get married, you are limited to most part to other plain people, and there are more woman than men, forcing a percentage of woman to live unwed spinsters lives.

Can Amish women date men outside of the Amish belief?

There is no cut and dry answer to this question, both genders are compelled not to seek mates outside their faith, especially outsider English people in fear they will leave their Amish society. You can only date as Amish person another baptized member, to be baptized is to make a verbal contract obligation to the community and Amish society to stay. But do Amish woman and men date outsiders, yes, mostly in secrete. If it is known that the Amish person is dating a outsider, everything will be factor in letting such Amish person continue, from the desire the outsider interested in joining, to the Amish persons parents, but the greatest determination factor will come down from highest elder in the community. If a Amish person regardless of their age, does something like date a outsider, against the denial the elder, they first will be shunned and if it continues excommunicated with nothing and no family ties.

Can Amish men marry outsiders?

No. The Mennonites do not embrace the idea of outsiders coming into marriage within the churches community. Marriage is a very serious step for a Mennonite. marriage to an outsider is highly prohibited and would not be accepted by any Mennonite order that I know of. If you swayed a Mennonite to marriage would not yourself be considered Mennonite nor would your ex-mennonite spouse.
