First off... I'm sure that she'll appreciate you trying to find out more so that you don't offend her. I would recommend that you discuss this with her directly though. I'm not sure of your age, obviously, so I'm going to assume you are younger than 20. But I would encourage you to talk with her for a few reasons. Obviously it will show her that you care enough about her to find that information out, but it will also allow her to give you her personal feelings towards those things.
In general though you seem to have some of the basic ideas down. I wouldn't expect her to be dressing in any un-modest ways, just as I wouldn't expect her to be going out drinking either. I personally chose not to even go to places where the purpose of going there was to drink, but she may feel otherwise (more reason to talk to her).
The one thing I would recommend avoiding is searching google for answers. Check out the actual church websites (www.lds.org and http://www.mormon.org) to find out what we believe.
Back to my original point, talk to her :)
Webmaster: Good answer, Joe! I second the need for caution when learning about Mormons on the Internet. There's a lot of false information out there.

Well that's a good start. If you would like to impress this lady not drinking alchohol/coffee/black tea is a start. Also watch your language around the lady, treat her with respect ie open doors for her keep your hands to yourself, no smoking, if you don't already have a good job with an education look into obtaining one, for you more then her, be open to talking about her religion if she brings it up.
