Default Could I convert to LDS w/out being strict about going to church and other activities?

I apologize in advance if this forum is only supposed to be for people who are LDS.

I'm considering applying at a college in Provo, Utah, and just about everyone there is mormon. I share their views on issues and think its wonderful how wholesome they are and enjoy being around them. I also believe in God but I'm just not that a religious person. In particular, I don't care much for all the rituals in organized religion.

I would also never want to send my kids to do missionary work overseas or force them to only live in areas with large mormon populations. Also, I'm concerned about that "marriage is forever" belief b/c what if your spouse cheats on you, becomes abusive, becomes an addict, or does something where it wouldn't make sense to stay married? In theory of course I'd love to find a woman with the idea that we'd love and be together forever, but I'd like to have an option out just in case.Do they not allow divorce or remarriage?

Aside from that, I'd really like to meet a girl with the values and morals that LDS girls have and obviously this would be a problem since I'm not LDS.

So could I convert without having to do anything I'm not comfortable doing?
