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?
Above all, its the third date, she’s choosing to continue. You can relax and enjoy it - that says more than anything else.
Absolutely get out of the car and open the door for her, offer your hand to help her in, shut the door for her. I’d save the hug for later, and on date 3 if yall have fun I don’t think a kiss or more is out of order - but it usually comes more naturally after spending a few hours together.
As far as drop off, I’d personally not be wanting the date to end, and if she likes you she probably won’t either, so keep it going including random offer to get ice cream, look at the stars, listen to music, etc. walk her to the door when you must, and that’s a great point to say you want to see her again and get close - chemistry is a thing, go with it.
dress however, but self-aware, not over the top but never like a slob.
