This.

hey, I love the good old X-Kilt and sydnie7 has made a mess of them, too but most people kind of can't "process" the idea of "contemporary kilt". So unless you're an "alternative" kind of guy (or couple) start out with a tartan kilt, which your lass will at least know is a "kilt", even if she thinks it's wretched.
Anyway, best of luck and be sure to read those other threads, there's lots of good advice. But in the end, in your situation, it really is just a piece of clothing and you have to ask yourself which is more important, the kilt or your relationship. Alan has some strong views on that (wow, what a surprise LOL) but you have to find your own path.
What? ME? "strong views"...oh, come now!
