I cant really answer the Jewish perspective, but i know you cannot date a Muslim woman
-the woman will not take u unless u are serious about marriage (because she isnt one to b played around with)- and also, the male is the one who the kids will follow. so, if they had kids, they would be Jewish- which is why its difficult to maintain this if the woman is the only non-Jew in the family.

"one is often told that it is a very wrong thing to attack religion, because religion makes men virtuous. So I am told; I have not noticed it... You find as you look around the world that every single bit of progress in humane feeling, every improvement in the criminal law, every step toward the diminution of war, every step toward better treatment of the colored races, or every mitigation of slavery, every moral progress that there has been in the world, has been consistently opposed by the organized churches of the world...
My own view on religion is that of Lucretius. I regard it as a disease born of fear and as a source of untold misery to the human race. I can not, however, deny that it has made some contributions to civilization. It helped in early days to fix the calender, and it caused Egyptian priests to chronicle eclipses with such care that in time they became able to predict them. These two services I am prepared to acknowledge, but I do not know of any others" Bertrand Russell

Does it make sense to date someone who thinks that your religious beliefs will not be "fulfilled" until you change them to the "upgrade" of jesus or muhammed? Yeah, that would be silly.. There are plenty of Jews who date, and even marry, outside of the religion, but religiously, it is only going to cause friction. Unless one side or both really don't care about the religion, it will not work out in the long run.

No you can't (unless they are Jewish by birth and then became Christian in practice, for example). You could find many sitest that discuss this based on the Bible (Deuteronomy) itself. I've included such site below.

Jewish teaching says no. Secular Jews won't follow this, and Reform and Conservative are more liberal in this sense, but Orthodoxy and Chassids, you can forget it. No, it's not allowed.

Can I? Sure.
Would I? Nope.
Why would I want to marry someone with different values and goals for raising a family. Its simply a recipe for disaster.
