i accidentally did the same thing one day and decided i liked it better that way. im too cowardly to go all the way down to no-guard again but i now stick to the #1 as opposed to the 4/5/6 i was using earlier (i still wanted some hair up there back then).
 
If I go down to 1, I'm more worried about my pale white head. I had long hair until a few weeks ago, and I've gotten a lot of sun in the meantime.

you're in texas. a little suncreen and a couple hours outdoors and your head will be all set. but in case you dont like it... do you happen to own any hats? 😉

I own some hats, but I don't think my date would like me wearing a hat when we're all dressed. My other roommate has a buzzer that does #1 and #2, so I'll buzz it down a little more and complete the bald spot with my forehead.
 
Buy some of that informercial spray-on hair in a can? Either that or go for the calvin & hobbes approach and color it in with marker
 
Wow, that's pretty high up there. If it was lower I'd probably try to camouflage it with a fade.

Wear a hat maybe? 😀

This made me think of that bit from Jackass with the clippers and Jaws music ...
 
I thought this would be just another "meh" thread. Once you posted your pic, I just LOL'd. That is pretty bad. I donno, it's a great icebreaker.

I actually know the girl pretty well. Most people would think we are going out. But she says I have to take her on a date first...

My roommate just did a #1 all around. It looks a little better.
 
at least its in line with your natural crown, you can shave it all the way around and look like a jarhead for a week. mine was right at the top of the head when i did it, i had little options available. id say just shave it down and tell her the story. i made the mistake of wearing a hat to work after i did it, and since i never wear hats to work everyone seemed to notice it and gave me shit for a week. i use a 1/4" attachment now from that, i used to use a 3/8" when i dipped the chunk out of it. if you know the girl that well she will laff a bit but wont probably care that much. and if it works out, it will be a story she tells your kidlings. my ex wife told stories about when i met her for years.
 
Never done that before and I cut my hair with an electric shaver-ma-bob all the time 😛. I like saving the $8-10 on a hair cut... especially when my cut is literally 6 on top, 3 on side with some bit of gradient work on the back using a 1 and a 2.

Oh and I use a 1 elsewhere too 😛.
