First Date Advice

I'm 23 just for reference. I've never dated anyone or been in any type of relationship. I've been talking to this guy since the beginning of the year. We went to school together but didn't really talk until now (I actually didn't even remember we were in the same class embarassingly). He asked to hang out before, when we had only been talking for about a month, but I felt it was too early and I was too nervous so I pushed it, but he asked again recently and I think I'm more up for it but I'm still super nervous. Like I said I've never dated so I'm completely new to this. Along with that I live with my family and don't drive.

This is important because 1: I'm insecure about it, I feel weird about even asking friends for rides, 2: i don't want to invite him to my house to hang out in my room with my mom downstairs like we're in middle school and 3: again, never dated so I've never talked to my mom or really anyone in my family about it. I'm embarassed and nervous about telling my mom I'm going to hang out with a guy. My mom isn't controlling but I do like to let her know what I'm about to so she doesnt have to worry too much. I thought about telling her I was hanging out with a friend and telling my sister the truth, I'm more comfortable with her and I want someone to know where I'll be just in case of course. I don't know how my mom would react, since my sister hasn't dated either so she's never dealt with this with a daughter (i have older brothers)

I plan to talk to my therapist about it, also me and him don't have a set date yet so I can still move stuff around, and he's been pretty understanding so far. (Though this is all me being pre-worried because a big part of this is it's not set in stone as a romantic date, just "lets hang out" as well as me not knowing 100% yet if I want to go forward with a romantic relationship since talking online is different, which... Might be a problem in and of itself)

Is all this apprehension really me not being ready yet, or is it normal nerves that everyone deals with when they start dating? Thank you in advance for positive and helpful messages, I probably won't reply since I kind of want to stay anonymous but know I will be reading any comment probably obsessively.
