don't worry, we all had to get rid of our driving partner "captain kangaroo" at one point 
the clutch is there to be slipped, slip it. don't ride it for extended periods of time or at high rpm, but its purpose is to be let out slowly and provide a smooth transition between two parts travelling one speed (flywheel) and another speed (drivetrain), think of it as a synchro that you actuate with your leg
the clutch can be let out fast at first, when it's all the way down, but slow your foot as you come closer to the take up point. almost to the point where you let it off delicately and softly. every car will have a different clutch take up point. letting the clutch out fast (dropping, popping or sidestepping) will load up the drivetrain, and if you're at low enough rpm you'll bunnyhop. if you're at high enough rpm you may grab traction and go forward quickly (a "launch"), or you may exceed the grip limit of your tyres (do a "big fat smokey") if your car is powerful enough
