I don't currently have a girlfriend, but have met girls while wearing a kilt (since it's all I wear now), and have gone on dates with them. In general, with girls and the general public, the reaction to my khaki UtiliKilt is "Wow, I didn't know there were cargo kilts. That's really cool." People see it as a kilt, no problems. And all my friends think it's neat that I can fit four fifths of whiskey in the cargo pockets.

While I do always wear a sporran with my tartan kilts (so I have somewhere to keep a wallet, keys, and phone), I don't always wear hose and flashes - black boots look just as good with a tartan kilt as with a khaki one. It isn't the accoutrements that make a kilt.
