I’ve [28M] never been pass the first date, but some how made it to date three. I really want this to go well

I offered to pick her up and she said yes but I’m not sure what the etiquette is

When I pick her up do I open car door from inside, let her open it, or get out when I see her (give her a hug too? Not sure cuz first date we shook hands and second held hands for a little bit but didn’t hug or shake hands after that date) then open the door?

What about when I drop her off? Do I walk up with her and possibly give a hug? And can instead of that wait within 24 hours thing if things went well can I tell her I’d like to see her again then?

Also would new balance gym shoes be fine for an art gallery date? What about jeans and a flannel shirt?

I get that; I guess it might be helpful to remind yourself that small mistakes or breaks in etiquette are rarely that impactful; also might be helpful to remember she seems interested and is continuing to text you and go out on dates - hopefully that creates some amount of security that small mistakes won't matter?

It does I’m just both excited and nervous though Cindy I’ve never gotten this far lol.

And I’m trying to be optimistic on the I believe good signs like her telling some friends she found someone she vibes with, saying hopefully I can pick her up on future dates, etc. (I feel I might be overthinking this as good)
