Good luck tonight Ghost. My advice would be NO self deprecating humor about your bald head. Remember: You are YOU with or without hair. Don't make an issue of it with this girl and let her see all of your redeeming qualities.
If you NEED to mention your head to break the ice or make yourself more comfortable I suggest saying something like (while rubbing your head) "Head rubs feel SOOO good!" and give a sheepish smile. She may discover she enjoys rubbing the noggin. You're home free after that my friend.
Other stuff would be don't talk about yourself too much. Ask questions and remember the answers. Give her a genuine compliment. Make eye contact and smile but don't stare the whole time. Don't look away every time she looks at you!!! Breath MINTS!!! My last suggestion would be to ignore all my advice and be yourself.
Relax and have fun brother!

Just try to be laid back and have fun. Don't have any preconceived expectations other that to have fun with friends. That way she can see what a cool guy you are.

Power said it right bro. Do not keep bringing up the fact that you shave your head. It is obvious that you do that. I bet you $20 bucks that you get a head rub from her tonight.

Ghost-
In the time you've been here I've learned that you're a nice guy with a good sense of humor.
Be yourself, be relaxed and funny, and remember one of the most important rules of dating....... ask her about herself and don't talk about yourself too much unless of course she keeps asking about you.
One more thing.... remember to flash that award winning smile that you have.
I now that you're gonna' rock her Bro'............ have fun! -

I guess it's too late for advice, so I'll just say that I hope your date is going well, bro! Keep us informed.

Ghost,
Yup; Cheese seems to be a key wisdom holder on this one.
I can only add this: God gave us two ears and one mouth for a reason. It is cliche, but it is true. Really be present with this young woman, listen to her words as though they are liquid gold, and smile and laugh often.
She will go home wondering when her next opportunity with you will be.
The time I have been here, you have been engaged and your style and personality shine through.
I can't wait to hear the outcomes!
