Need some help teaching a girl how to ride (first date)

I know that I could search for a result, and I plan to do that, but I wanted to start a discussion anyways.

Tomorrow is my first date with her. All my bikes are way to big for her so I fixed up my MTB from when I was a child. Unfortunately it has some problems such as the front hub has a LOT of play in it and the wheel wobbles, the rear tire is bald and has a bulging part from where the brake pad rubbed on it. Luckily they are holding air.

Now I would like to know how to teach her (an adult) how to ride a bike. She has never ridden a bike before except her friends trying to teach her in the past. I am worried that if she gets hurt and if she remembers out first date as a bad one then It might do downhill :<

I have 8 hours to be with her, so I hope I can have her riding by then. What do you think, should I have her wear inline skating elbow/knee pads? (I know she will feel like a dork but I dont want her to get hurt) Also I have to fit her on the bike (move the seat around) so that she will be comfortable, I have the bike now in a gear that I think she should be able to handle.

Anyone have suggestions to help me teach her? This has to go well
