I think converting is really an unnecessary step. Jewish people, of pretty much any type, will welcome you to their shabbos table just b/c of your interest. You can practice, experience, learn (judiasm is huge... there is so much you still won't know, even if you were raised hassidic), and then, if you feel even more strongly in a year or two, then you'll be more dedicated in the conversion process (which is difficult and long, with a lot of learning as well) and you'll already have a good head start.
Many people who once had no belief in G-d find that over time, as they go through the motions: baking challahlighting candles, listening to a child read at pasach..... the faith part grows, and that belief may find you. I'm not saying it will definatly happen, but it is good to be open to the idea of it happening. I found G-d entering my life at all sorts of times, and I really had very little faith left, for a time. I did nothing to "find" anything, I just went through the motions, recited the prayers, and eventually, I believed a little bit of what I was saying, then more, then more.
I personally don't know anything about the convirsion process of progressive judiasm, but good luck if that's the path you decide to take.
