I was quite unwelcome!
I was a young staff member at a large Boy Scout camp. Somebody arranged a bus ride for local girls to come to a staff dance at the camp. I attended and met a pretty girl. We danced and spent the evening together. I knew the town she lived in and somehow I found her address. Looking to enjoy her company, I walked there on my next day off, a distance of more than 10 miles. At the time, I didn't have a driver's license or a car. When I found her house, I rang the front doorbell. She came to the door and screamed, "Go away! You will ruin my life!"
I was quite surprised and asked her what she meant. She said word would get around that she had a boyfriend and her social life and dating would end. I thought we had had a good evening together at the dance and I was very surprised at her reaction. I walked back to the camp. Of course, that was years ago and I have forgotten all about that now.
