ok, here's a serious one for you:
How do you get a girl who does not want to date (due to moral (tied in with religious) reasons, which I follow myself as well) to go on a date?
Well, it seems like you're more willing to date so have a talk with her. Tell her that you know its against her morals to date but that you think you guys should give it a shot. You only live once you know? If she's not willing then she's not interested or she's not open minded enough to look past some of those morals.
People who are not willing to do things that are against their morals are not open minded? Geez, how intolerant is that...
People who have excessively strict morals are not open minded. Of course, the judgement of whether someone is open minded can be rather subjective.
Again, I disagree. You can hold whatever morals you want and be "open-minded" enough to let others practice as they will. If you truly hold your morals strictly, you need not fear people who are around you who do things opposed to your morals.
[edit] You have no way of knowing whether people who have strict morals have evaluated other options. If they haven't and/or are not willing to, maybe you could legitimately call them close minded, but if they have looked at other ways of living and chosen something strictly moral, does that still make them close minded?
