It's the expectations on both sides that get in the way, and usually end up with hurt feelings and someone in tears. Wanna take a guess who??

If you want to teach her like they'll do in the MSF course, you can get a copy of the MSF materials online and use those as a teaching guide.

It's "The Pace", in a different format.
This is what I would suggest too. Ask her what she wants. Most guys want to do everything for their SO but we have an opinion too.

I would think starting with the basics as they do in the MSF with letting here slip the clutch just enough it starts to grab so she can get used to where it engages. Then take it to the next step with "walking" around the parking lot.

Just let her decide though.
