Time to give in and wear the watch

Dear OMG,

My girlfriend got me a watch for Christmas while on a trip with her family to the Bahamas. It’s a really nice watch, but it’s not my style at all (I don’t usually even wear a watch) and I know I can’t take it back since it’s from a boutique there. I don’t want to offend her, but I don’t think I’ll ever wear it. What should I do?

Dear Out Of Time,

Ugh, this is a toughie. Why not compromise — suck it up and wear it on occasions that are special to you both: an anniversary dinner, her birthday, or if you ever go to the Bahamas as a couple. If you really aren’t a watch wearer, tell her that by saying something like, “When I wear a watch, it’s going to be this one.” That way she won’t expect you to have it on all the time, and you’ll be relieved of sporting a not-at-all-you piece to the next Celts game . . .
