Basic English
Is this correct English ?
"She is dated nearly 9 men and she could not get along with any of them."
How about using one of them in the place of any of them ?
Thank you.

"She is dated" should be "She has dated" (or just "She dated"). This is the main error of English. It is good style to write small numbers in words — in this case "nine men" rather than "9 men".

"nearly nine" is a bit odd. Does it mean eight? Seven? We usually use "nearly" with larger round numbers, e.g. "nearly 100".
Consider writing "but" instead of "and".
