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?

Being myself is what I’ve been trying and so far seems to be good. Like she asked if my humor is how I flirt and I said yes. And she wasn’t sure if I was interested or trying to be a friend but I assured her I’m interested (assuming it’s good too since she still talks with me). Because to me I love making others laugh and humors always helped me and I’d rather be my goofy self than the charsmatic flirter I’m really not.

Getting this far in dating for the first time too is just very nerve racking lol

Sense of humor is a pretty big deal in a guy. Some say its more important than looks but I think it acts more as a looks enhancer. Good luck.
