Standard is for US buildings to be supplied with 240v center-tapped (single-family), 208Y120 3-phase (light commercial/multifamily), or 480Y277 3-phase (large commercial, light industrial).

120V is never supplied on its own.

Most 240V appliances work fine down to around 200V since they’ll often be used with nominal 208Y120 power after voltage drop.

Are you sure you have 240/120V split phase service and not 2 legs of 208Y120?

If so, I’d contact an electrician or the utility company - sounds like the problem is upstream

People can date who they want.

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.
