I currently want to ask out one this girl, who is Mormon, at my highschool yet I don't know if I should know anything important religious wise about her. I do know that Mormons are to refrain from intamacy until marraige but I don't really know where the line is to be drawn. Like is holding hands okay? Is a freindly kiss fine? I just need a general guide line to the LDS's views on dating and relationships. I really like this girl and don't want do something considered inapropriot and cause distress to her or her family.

She'll let you know; everyone has there own standards or morals. Technically, holding hands and smooching are just fine, but beyond that is getting to the edge. However, I wouldn't worry about much. Just have a good time. Don't buy what anyone has to say negative about Mormons, especially as far as intelligence, because as I'm sure you know they value education highly. I'm Mormon, married to an agnostic, and we have a killer time all the time. Just be respectful, as I'd hope you'd be with any woman. Good luck.

This link summarizes all of the standards for LDS youth. It may be helpful to read it (only takes a few minutes) before asking her out. It includes guidelines on dating, relationships, intimacy, and other topics. Good luck!

Let's see, holding hands is ok, closed mouth kissing is questionable, open mouth kissing is bad, anything else is bad, you should be with a group, in a well-lit area at all times. Hands always in plain sight.
That said, the only people I knew in high school who had babies were LDS. This is not talking crap, I was LDS.

Dont take her for coffee, Mormons believe caffeine is a sin.

Be ready to be bored out of your mind. Put simply it'd be like going out with a nun.

Date several. 7 or 8 at a time. It'll be good practice.

Don't - whatever you do - say "Hey, why not bring your sister?"
