My girlfriend has always wanted to learn to drive stick but none of her friends drive them, and the one that does really has no idea what shes doing. When we drive sometimes I let her shift while I drive which I believe built up her confidence to asked on our anniversary to drive my car
 So I wen't to an empty school parking lot and drove her around for 10 minutes talking her through how to use the clutch and alternate clutch and gas and finally she hopped in the driver's seat. She took off once with the car jolting forward but she didn't stall it so  the next time not soo lucky, the car stalled and she started freaking out, apologizing, and then got out of the car cause she said she was done. At least she can say she drove a stick for 3 minutes

 Not that I haven't stalled it before, but I would be kind of nervous letting someone learn on my Z.

My ex used to put her hand on mine to get a feel for how the shifting worked. It eventually became enough for her to stop asking to drive the car.

I've told her multiple times that I would teach her how to drive it, but she still refuses. She always reminds me of my reaction from when the car was a few weeks old and she ground gum into the floor mat trying to get it off her shoe.
