males date out side the church, but females don´t date, they can have "friends" in school, but nothing more.
the only way they can date or marry...the females...is if there are no available males around.
i have had J.W.´s as neighbors, the woman was J.W. and her husband was Baptist, and a girl in my high school class was J.W.

Jehovah's Witnesses believe that dating should be with a view toward marriage. A person who is not free to marry does not qualify to date. In jurisdictions which do not permit marriage until 16 or 18, Jehovah's Witnesses understand that to also limit dating by those younger than that.

Yes and No. We as individuals have free will for what we do. As Christians we strive to follow the Bible principle, commonly known as "Marry only in the Lord". This principle applies at ALL ages.
Also, we see dating specifically as a means to an end, marriage.

No JWs cannot date outside their church. I know from personal experience because as a teenager I had a boyfriend who was a JW. (He told me he was a christian and I didn't know the difference at the time.) When his parents found out they threatened to bring him before the church to have him excommunicated. We were both only teenagers.
