You might as well just admit it, someone just starting out can learn how to avoid stalling jerkily and completely in a day or two, but learning the feel of smooth shifting takes a while.
I learned while trying to impress a date myself, I needed to borrow a car and the only one available was a stick so I spent the entire day before practicing in a parking lot. I never saw her again but I eventually learned to love driving a stick and always will.

Sounds about right.

Just say you don't know how... it's no big deal... Not knowing how to do something shouldn't be embarrassing, refusal to learn new things is what should be embarrassing...
I didn't know much about shooting semi-automatic pistols cause my dad never taught me.. I was just a rifle and shotgun guy... I told my friend and he taught me all about them.. If this person is a good friend or a good relative, there should be no judgement or reason for you to feel embarrassed.
