Default Tips for taking a rider with you

Ok so ive taken my MSF course and ridden for a few months but ive never taken a chick on the back of my bike with me.

I know during a braking situation she should support herself on the tank
and during normal riding she should wrap her arms around me (the whole reason we take women right hehe)

but what about turns and stuff?
I know i should never go down as far as i could alone but i remember hearing someone say that the passenger is supposed to look over the opposite shoulder of the trun?

So if im taking a left turn then my rider should look over my right shoulder?
and a right turn she should look over my left?
Or does she lean with me?

Edit: Oh and let me know of any other helpful info

ive ridden with a passenger a lot (my ex). leave more room to brake obviously. (thats how i went down in some gravel trying to turn into her driveway) yes she needs to put her hands on the tank when u brake that way shes not pushing on you. thats what made us go down when we hit the gravel, she waqsnt using the tank when i was slowing down for the turn and she was pushing on me and ugh whatever. when we would be cruising she moves with me. when i go down to haul ass she tucks her head down behind me to keep from getting hella head shake and when we would fly through turns i wouuld lean almost as much as i normally do and she would lean with me but not all hanging off the bike and shit like i was doing. sure it might be dangerous driving like that with a passenger but i got used to her wieght and how she would move with me before i drove fast with her on the back. just remember a passenger changes everything

Be gentle all the way around. Brake sooner and lighter, gas it slower, use less lean angle, etc.

Oh, also remember to try to cop a feel at stoplights.

just tell her to emulate u, u lean, she lean, just dont over do it,

good rule is to have her look over ur shoulder, the shoulder on the INSIDE of the turn. She is a rider just like you so the better she is the better you both will get. w/e you do she copies, unless u hanging off and shit thats dangerous

Tell her its like dancing... she follows your movements, and if she doesn't, the result will be a lot worse than getting her toes stepped on.
