There ya go!

Anytime something that is different is introduced, it does take time for everyone to adjust too. I would go slow at first real slow to let her get the idea that kilts are really cool. If you run into another female while the two of you together and she is adoring you because of the kilt, be sure that you give your girlfriend your complete and undivided attention.

I personally believe that you have an advantage especially with her thinking about the Black Stewart. Just go slow, and whatever happens, remember you have many friends here on the board!

I have to agree with the idea of going slow, just don't let it sneak up on her though. Like others have said, get her to go along to some highland games, give her some exposure (for lack of a better term) to mass kiltage and it may do quite a bit towards relaxing some of those fears she has.

My own self-conscious fears were laid to rest by the combination of living in a city where kilt-wearing is not entirely uncommon and having a wife who wants me to wear kilts.

Dude,respect to you for saying you would out the kilts before her.
I am in complete agreement with Gman, take it slow and I assure you it will grow on her just like it has on you.Involve her in your choices of kilt and accesories if she's interested.
kilt are not everything, not everyone here wears them all the time maybe the one day a week would be enough to sway her.
I'm also assuming here that she wouldn't dump you for wearing said kilt?
Take it easy.

Nope. She wouldn't. I just want to avoid stupid issues, so that if something BIG comes up there won't be small stuff to add to the friction.
And man, you know, there can be a lot of stupid small stuff.

This is a no-brainer. Good women are hard to find.

It's not like she says you can't EVER wear your kilt. Don't push the everyday thing.

Besides, as young as you are, chances are that she's not your lifetime partner, anyway. Trust me on that one.

okay, so you're obviously not the first choice for chaplain.....

[Riverkilt]

I agree with Gator....you get a better kilt on than SportKilt she'll probably be less resistant. Big difference in the look of a contemporary kilt or a traditional kilt from the SportKilt...

Hang in,

A woman can remember, in detail, every little argument you have had, even if it was over 20 years before. Something will come up, that upsets her, and you'll hear, "You forgot my birthday" Before thinking, you'll put your foot in your mouth and say something like, "Your birthday isn't for another two months", only to hear, "No, I meant back in 1985," Then she gets even more upset because you didn't remember you forgot. Women, we can't live with them and we definitely can't live without them.
