Lifetime fisherman, part-time fly fisherman here... A cute dental hygienist / fishing guide???
>> Any advice?
Yes - find that girl, apologize for your apparent miserable failure and try again!
Beyond hiring another guide, since you should already know the basics, and assumably have a fly rod and the basics, just focus on casting in your yard or wherever. Once you can cast without much effort. Start casting on the water. As you probably know, first step in fly fishing is learning how to cast. Catching fish should be the least of your concerns until you get the casting thing down. I'd avoid getting distracted with fly tying at first. You can get flies/advice at the local shop and then order from places like https://www.bigyflyco.com/
