How much are you willing to expose to a stranger? What makes Emma, the actor, a bad date? Why are the "Red Flags" red flags? What does that mean about society? I didn't see this as a bad date as much as a sad date. I personally know one person similar to Emma--don't they deserve a chance at true love (whatever that means) as anyone else? ...
