I wouldn't dream of telling my girlfriend what not to wear, simply because her wearing it made me uncomfortable. Appropriate attire for a venue is one thing, but we ask each other, not order each other. Likewise, she knows not to order me around, simply because it won't work and I'm likely to do the exact opposite .

A relationship where anyone told what to do, or not to do, simply wouldn't work for me...just sayin', some of you may have a lot more to discuss with your respective spouses than kilts, because from the little (as in, we don't know the whole story) you've mentioned, you (plural) need a better pair of chairs than a bunch of kilted enablers can provide .

She would prefer a very quiet evening for two.
Funny, I have the exact same situation in my own relationship. Fortunately, she likes my kilt .

Second time repeat that little push, and gradually increase with each subsequent night out how far you can get her to go toward your "perfect dinner". If you decide to try this let us know how it worked for you, or if it did not , why you think it failed.
That is an excellent suggestion! Thank you sir !
