Tell her you need to show her the meta-game, but the meta game is in your pants. As she unzips your pants, yell out, "EEEEEE HAAAAAN TIMMMMINGGG," grab her head quickly because she'll try to escape, then get her to mine ur mineral like you showed her b4 on the computer.

Otherwise, listen to the advice below:

Just lure her into your room "for practicing SC2" and then throw a joe move like "how u doin".
Terran in particular is a notoriously strong race for a no brain skillhand bot style.

Girl and game always receive special treatment on TL :D
I've taught some complete newbie guy to play SC, so from my experience let them start with the campaign is the best way. Then you fill her in with the SC2 communities, tourneys and stuff to keep her interest...and yeah, those "fill in“ can be done in various places and times w/o even the computer involved :D
Hey, if she really likes you, buy her a copy and happy 2v2, that would be very cool

get her to take notes

1. workers mine minerals which is money
2. they take 8 minerals each trip
3. you need 2.5 workers per mineral patch for saturation
4. workers cost 1 supply
5. supply is how many units you can build
5. you can have up to 200 supply
6. you need supply depots to increase your supply
..........


LOL this thread is gold.

Ask her if you can practice your "APM" on her.

In a different note, be as basic as possible.
I was playing in high school, and these two pretty cute girls got fairly excited about trying it.
They had difficulty controlling the 4 workers. -_- But they were excited about it, so... I guess that counts for something?

Start with the basics, economy, and army.
If she seems more and more interested, feel free to delve into the progaming scene and such.
If she's a little hesitant keep it at a newbie/casual level.
Good luck!
Maybe you can get a "Tossgirl" esque practice partner? o.o

Campaign Campaign Campaign. Make her play on Easy or Normal, get her to try out the first couple of units. The first two missions of SCII will be enough to teach her the basics. Also, micro into her pants while doing so.

tbh she doesn't really wanna learn to play, she just wants an excuse to spend time with you. Eventually you will hook up, maybe become bf and gf. After you've been going out for a while she will grow tired of your "always being on that damned computer". Then you will calmly state in a gentle voice, "tits or gtfo", and she will leave you. But the memories are still there, she can't take that away from you. Sure the sex was good and the times were fun, but she is gone forever now and all you have left are the memories.
..and then I would, ya know, check em'. (Aka SpoR)

Play zerg and then intentionally lose your queen early game.

When she says "oh no you lost your queen!",

Take your hands off your keyboard and mouse, look her in the eyes, and reply, "The only queen I need is you."

That's all I got. and don't forget to say gg to your opponent.

Win.

As a sidenote....there has been some very bad advice in this thread. NevilleS basically gave you the best advice....

Learning about Micro/Macro and all of that gaming lexicon is honestly very boring for lots of early players. Make her do the campaign and have her get used to the storyline. The storyline's intriguing enough to hold anybody attention I think....

My gosh this thread is incredible. But take travis's advice. Don't teach her to be really pro. Tell her the basics that workers get money, buildings make units (pick Terran, it actually IS the simplest to pick up :3 ) and units kill the opponent. After that, just take the Day9 advice: always be making workers and try to keep the money below 500.

But of course, when she's struggling just put your hand over hers on the mouse and guide her a bit And when she does well just congratulate her by giving her a friendly hug and such. This should be half about teaching her, half about other..

Teach her how to play.... but maybe less starcraft and more "other things" *wink wink.

lol, on a more serious note, I don't think she is really into "starcraft" per say. I think she is into you and that shiny looking game. And if it turns out she actually is into starcraft, you need to marry that girl. Have fun and good luck to you!

Tell her to take the seat. Watch her fail a bit - then direct her. Now break the touch barrier by moving the mouse and stuff - when she says she doesn't know what to do.
Now you can see if shes interested (and she sees that you are interested).

Do the OJ Simpson method that was ever so kindly outlined by brood a couple of girl guides back.

Couple of fantastic calls in here, laughed out loud literally.

Imho, we all want a girl who plays starcraft, so GO FOR THE DOUBLE!!!! Be flirty while teaching her. If you sense she's not really paying attention, then maybe she was just after you the whole time, then you can give it up and fall back to standard operating procedures, watch some movies, get cuddling etc.

The other .001% chance is she got hit by lightning for no apparent reason suddenly wants to become gosu at sc2. She saw you pwning it up, and is using you to teach her the ways of the mouse and keyboard. In this case, may as well anyway, and you can work on her in the meantime.

The double! Do it for all of us!
