as much as possible, make her play the campaign first so she will learn the basics and get into the vibe of the story. Much better that she can have fun with it first then show reach and bisu once she turns gets really into the game.

Some missed on a few crucial points IMO: - She has already shown interest, don't need to show her progamers, day 9, etc. Save this for when interest decreases - If she tries it and doesn't like it, let it go; don't force the issue. Its likely that you have other things to base your friendship in. - Don't expect her to want to do this everytime you hang out, clearly gaming is a small diversion for her, rather than a passion. - If she plays farmville or other similar game, use the concepts she knows from these games to apply to this game. Make the game relate to things she knows to generate interest | ||

And does your mom really watch you play starcraft? Of course she watches me play starcraft, everyone in my family loved my BW muta micro haha.. | ||

I blew my shot after I started raging at her inability to beat the fucking computer, after I showed her some super simple build orders that can't lose to the computer. She spent all her time scrolling around and right clicking into the opponent's base. Only without macro. At that point I just gave up on her and never spoke to her again. Edit: On a side note, she was still able to beat my friend, who claimed to be good at Terran. I rofl'ed. i see you have very good social skills | ||

My social skills are amazing. This one time I was playing HoN and I worked up the courage to use my microphone. And we almost won that time, but only after all my teammates muted me for being a whiny bitch. Also, I'm going to dinner right now. Which is social because there will be a lot of people around, none of whom I will talk to <3. | ||

Extra points if you can do it with both hands at once, or convince her to tape her fingers to yours. This is the best advice I've ever heard in my entire life. I'd like to add a suggestion that you run your fingers through her hair with your left hand, starting during the mid game. Play this right and you could be making out by "gg." | ||

Lol, settle down. it's impossible to know whether sure wants to "bone" him, but it is obvious that she likes him some what and wants to hang out. I was just advising him to not run a good opportunity to talk to a girl (omg right) by going all hardcore "i will show you the way to be awesome" on her. She wants to have fun, so the "best way" to teach her is to just hang out, have fun, don't take anything seriously... Honestly all this "show her the campaign or commentaries" stuff is so wrong... | ||

Heh all I asked was how to teach her to play, campaign is actually a pretty good idea. She actually wants to learn how to play, its not just about hanging out. she is just a total newbie. | ||
