    I didn't pick up on if you wear a kilt to work, so the mutual friend would know this about you, and could pass it on. If so, go kilted. If not, I'd mention it on the phone before the date. If she objects, break the date. I agree, be yourself, but I would take the startle effect out of the equation.

    My experience is that most women (the ones that really like being women) like men in kilts. I hope you'll let us know what happens.

    Well, I don't wear my kilt to work. My friend doesn't know I wear a kilt when I am not at work. I really don't hang out with people from work. I think that I am going to take all of your alls advice. I am calling her right now and see what she has to say about me wearing a kilt to our date. I will let you all know what she has to say when i get off the phone. Thanks for all of you advice and comments.

    And Riverkilt that is a great story. I love reading your post and treads.

    To the rest of you thank for the help and storys they really made my day.

    So, how did the conversation go? I'd hope that she likes the thought of dating a kilted man. As others have said, if she absolutely does not like it, are you willing to give up this part of you for her??

    Well, that was a bust. I told that I wear kilts when I am off from work, and her comment was" that's weird..why do you want to wear a dress". So I told her to "piss off" not in those words thoe. My thinking on her is if she does not know the difference between a skirt and a dress (or a kilt) then she is to stupid for me to date anyways. The heck with her and her close-mind life. I don't need that kinda person in my life. Thanks again to all of you. Wish me better luck next time. (In the next 5 years LOL)

    Rejection is God's protection.

    Now, step two: Join a singles board or two and post pictures of yourself kilted....they'll find you. You can also enter kilts or kilted in the search feature of the singles boards you're on. You'll be surprised how many ladies mention they like kilts in their own profiles.

    Romance awaits...

    I know it's tough, but I find that being true to yourself is always best. Honestly, if you just keep living your life with a good heart, the right woman will find you. I would not worry about the ones who don't stay, I find the stregnth you gain, for keep true to yourself will actually give you a little more swagger...
    Life is good and enjoy each and every day, there is always going to be someone who has something to say about how we live our lives, we just have to remember that with or without them, the sun will still rise and set. You just know in your heart, there are really far more people out there are more like us than not.
    If it were me, I would probably wearing kilt a little more often, just to make a point... And reading others posts, there will be more than enough women after the man who is secure enough in himself, that he can openly take pride in who he is... and that is a Scotsman, and is good enough. To long have we been held back in celebrating our culture, the way we dress, our language, et al. I know personally for me, my own parents were discriminated for who they were, for me to stand tall and tell everyone that I am Irish I am Scottish I am a Gael and I am damn proud of it and for all the sacrifices my ancestors made so I can stand here today living free, I can can honor their memory by celebrating Our Culture.

    Well, congrats for being true to yourself. Sorry this one didn't work out, but like Riverkilt said, there are many opportunities out there. I am married, but let me tell you, if I wasn't, holy cow. MANY ladies love a kilted man, and you shouldn't have to settle for someone who has issues with it.
