The story

So the way I've now come to understand the story of the woman in a date is this...Firstly she goes on the date with the intension of denying the man any advance apart from the meeting itself, for Sartre she is in bad faith because she does not allow her consciousness to be in constant flux. She stops the mans advancements because of a descision she made previously but by allowing these descisions to stop her coming to be she is in bad faith.

On a first glance at this I feel that bad faith is aparent in the story, by not allowing her transendence and trying to remain in the past she is in bad faith.
