Being from and currently living in the south, I can tell you right now it doesn't matter.
Many people (not all) are "conservative" religious (as in, no sex) because of their social circle (don't want to be an "outcast" -- different from their friends -- or be labeled a "slut"), have never had someone test them sexually because most people just think "no reason trying," or a variety of other reasons.
The most important thing is to be a
Secret Lover. You don't want to mingle with her friends too much, and you don't want her to mingle with your friends too much -- in fact, not at all if you can. When you "friend mingle," the more she worries about her friends knowing and getting called a "slut" or you telling your friends about an "awesome lay" and that potentially spreading.
Note: If you have sex and form a relationship, then of course you can mingle friends. It's just bad initially, depending on what you desire.
Also, this goes in line with the above, but try to only do one-on-one meet ups and make her know you're a gentlemen. By a gentlemen, I mean that you don't brag to your friends about girls -- that you don't "kiss and tell." That you are a little private and reserved about what happens in your life.
In high school, my best friend dated a girl for a year. She was very conservative, and the only thing she allowed was making out after him persisting relentlessly. She broke up with him, and afterwards, I found out that she gave a popular guy from our school a titjob just weeks after the breakup. To this day, I never told my best friend. He's married now, so I don't see any reason to anyway.
However, after saying all this, some girls are conservative. You will need to meet her in person though to truly find out.
I say go for it! Good luck man.
