I have a first date soon with a girl I've been texting a bit and I'm making the plans. She's driving an hour to meet up and I'm having trouble planning out some details. Whenever I ask for her preferences she says it's up to me to make the plans so my options are pretty open.

First, should we meet somewhere and then drive in my car to do the rest of our plans? I'm not giving her my address before I actually meet her so we're not meeting at my house, but some of the date ideas will require us driving to different places.

Second, she's free after 1pm, but I was thinking it would be nice to watch the sunset which is around 9pm. I was thinking it would be better to meet at 5 so we'd only have a few hours until sunset, then we could see how much more time we'd want to spend together after that. I don't think it would be a good idea to meet at 1pm and then force the date to continue for 8 hours until sunset. What do you guys think?

I know I'm overthinking but I really want the date to go well so any feedback is appreciated bros

First go to a museum (classical paintings or whatever), then you could do a little town strolling tour, then have restaurant ready, seats reserved to eat. Don't try to force anything. Be calm and don't think too much about yourself and your behaviour. The museum is good bc the paintings keep the focus off you as persons and you might get an idea for the next date, for example she might like retro-stuff or whatever. But don't obsess over that. The only thing that matters is that you both enjoy your time. Also it's ok to be nervous at the same time, so don't stress about that either. In the evening in the restaurant just try to have a good time as well, and then if the mood is right just casually drop a hint for her to pick up on. Can be fairly random as long as you don't give creepy or pressuring vibes. For example you could tell you have this favourite painting of yours hanging on your wall and tell she'd love it bc it's like whatever at the museum. If she reacts positively ask whether she wants to see it. Obviously don't necessarily use these very sentences but you should get the idea. She might also just want to get home and that is fine, the date might very well still have been a success and you will bag her on the next date or whenever.

If the meetup place is safe to leave a car (and won't tow it away) take one cae deom that point on, returning there at the end of the date.

Sunset might be a bit too romantic for a first date. Find some variant of the "walk around looking at something and pausing to eat along the way" Remember that the WHOLE point of a first date is to get to know each other and discover how comfortable you are in each other's company.
