Going out on my first date ever and I'm wondering if I fucked up. Got a girl's Snap off OLD. She's 18 and I'm 20. I told her on Sunday I was going rock climbing Wednesday and she should come with. She replied "Take me :)" and I agreed to pick her up without completely thinking it through. The issue is it'll take 45 min to 1hr to drive from her area to the rock climbing gym. I haven't told her this, and I recently confirmed with her (just now, the night before the date) by telling her to wear something she's comfortable in and she replied positively.

  1. Did I fuck up by choosing a venue that's so far away? I picked it because I figured rock climbing would be a chance to get some good kino in, but I completely forgot to account for the distance to the gym. I would prefer to go rock climbing because I've never been on a date before, so I want to give myself an easy way to get into kino. I'm also in excellent shape (top 10% imo, I can post a pic if requested), so I figured it's a good way to show that off.

  2. If I did fuck up, should I just tell her there's been a change of plans and we're going somewhere else? I figured I'd just pick an arcade or something. I was thinking of coffee as an alternative, but it seems like a huge downgrade from rock climbing, and it'd also be harder for me to try kino for the first time ever in a coffee shop. I guess there's an argument to be made that if she's really into me, she'll be willing to go wherever.

  3. How should I greet her? Do I go to the door and ring the doorbell (no clue if she lives with her parents)? Should I just tell her I'm there then wait for her in the car? Should I tell her I'm there and wait for her outside the car then give her a hug before going back into the car?

  4. Should I try and make conversation for the entire car ride there and back, or should I eventually just throw on some music?

I know these are a bunch of questions that have been answered before on the old sub, but I've seen varied responses, and my situation is a little difference in the sense that I already have the date set up. I realize I should have met up with her somewhere nearby now in hindsight, but I also just prefer rock climbing to anything else. So I guess my real question is if I should still do what I want at the cost of a potentially meh car ride?

EDIT:  

Update: She replied 7 hours after the time I was supposed to pick her up. I figured she just wouldn't reply cause I can't imagine trying to think of an excuse for replying 7 hours late unless something serious happened. Apparently this was her attempt at doing so..

Damn my bad I didn't have time to see your text

I started laughing my ass off as soon as I read it. I couldn't have imagined that I'd get an excuse that weak, but I did. I didn't reply and I'm not gonna pursue another date cause I have too much self respect for that.
