Going out for a first date, any tips

I tried to get advice on some other subs, but I don't think a lot of advice from Western audiences translates well to me. I'd really appreciate some advice and tips as I (25M) and going to meet a girl (24M) on a first date on Saturday. We met in hinge and have been talking off the app, and it's been good, and I have a feeling that she likes me too, considering the fact that she's flirted on text too and seems genuinely interested, and we match on many things like political opinions, interests, opinions in general and religious beliefs. So I've got a few questions that I hope I can get answers for: 1. Is a coffee and walk (with a surprise show that I've planned) a good first date? I don't drink so a date over drinks didn't make sense imo. My plan was coffee and then we catch a show for an event and than have some dessert. 2. Is it weird to travel with her in the metro to the mall we're heading to for the date? I proposed a cab but she said the metro will atleast not see the crazy traffic that drivers have to, but I feel taking her in the metro might be off-putting? 3. I'm going to be going out of country for a few months soon, found that recently and haven't spoken about this yet, she plans to move for some experience as well, so it's not like it's out of the picture, but how do I talk about this? 4. And tips on dressing for the date? I suggested she wear comfy shoes to the mall, and she said she isn't wearing shoes on a first date, so the bar is high for me now. 5. What's the consensus on some gifts? She's a potter head and I was gonna get this bracelet or some pendant(not overly expensive, like 300 rupees maybe), but my friend said that would be too much so stick to flowers. What would you say, flowers and a card(her bday was last week so)? 6. Any tips additionally might be great, like the touch barrier, I can talk comfortably, but I hesitate to go in for the hug directly with a girl, so how should I navigate that, and in general. 7. Also, she's smashing it in her career, and I'm still looking for a good position, so mentally that's there too Our conversations have been amazing, I had issues with unsending and editing messages, and she called me out on it and said that hopefully she can get me comfy, so oddly in my head, the Guruji Ka, koi tumse pyaar kyun karega is running. Sorry for the long and repeat post but looking forward to the tips and responses .
