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?

Get out of the car and at least open the car door if not go to the front door to knock/ring door bell.

At least offer to walk her to the door or wait till she get inside to leave. Offering shows you care about their independence but also their safety.

Art gallery I would suggest something dessier than suede basketball shorts. But really depends on what kind of art gallery.

I think they said suede gym shoes - but I can't for the life of me imagine such a thing (suede and gym shoes just don't go together in my mind, lol).

But it depends on the outfit - if the jeans are black and the flannel shirt is collared and long-sleeves and looked "nice", I could imagine that outfit working - but mostly I would imagine for an art gallery jeans and flannel seems underdressed.
