They can't "DATE", as we do. They get married after the spouses has been chosen by the parents.

Yes,if it leads to marriage(with a muslim,Christian or Jewish) .
If it does not or there is no potential to it yet,then there should be just meeting but no sex.
Islam does not allow "sex with no strings attached"
It's good for the woman so she is not abused(sexually and then suffers the consequences of a single parent) and society.
but then Islam is no different than other religions in this area.
I dont know of a religion that allows it otherwise.
And no the spouse is not chosen by the parents(an outdated stereotype).That was years ago and only in some countries(Not anymore)
This has been the same even in western societies(that's how most American families lived till 1960),only muslims kinda preserved that habit.
Dating is not part of any religion,it's a culture thing.so many non-practicing muslims do it . And when they do,it does not represent their religion

No they are allowed to date, they are not do date someone who is not a Muslim, or as they would call us, infidels. In some Muslim nations girls may chose who they wish to marry and so on. It is only in Muslim nations where they take a very strict and literal view of the Koran, where a Muslim girl would not be permitted to date, or even be with another male unless it was a male member of their family. In some nations like Turkey and so on girls are allowed to date. Even here in America many are allowed to date. It comes down to how they and their parents interpret the Koran and examples given from Hadithas and so on.

this is why
And say to the believing women that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty; that they should not display their beauty and ornaments except what must ordinarily appear therof; that they should draw their veils over their bosoms and not display their beauty except to their husbands, their fathers, their husbands' fathers, their sons, their husbands' sons, their brothers, or their brothers' sons or their sisters' sons, or their women or the servants whom their right hands possess, or male servants free of physical needs, or small children who have no sense of the shame of sex, and that they should not strike their feet in order to draw attention to their hidden ornaments. And O you Believers, turn you all together towards Allah, that you may attain Bliss.” (Quran 24:31).
“O Prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to draw their cloaks close round them (when they go abroad). That will be better, so that they may be recognised and not annoyed. Allah is ever Forgiving, Merciful.” (Quran 33:59)
