I live in a small island and I know what you mean by everyone known your business...
I found a guy online but it wasnt intentional I signed up for myspace and just added a load of randoms and well I happend to add him and then we spoke for months and eventually met up and we now are very much in love
Sounds good... well he lives at the very opposite end of the country as me. So internet relationships are good but not if you live so far away.
I didnt tell many people about him before I acutally met him because I knew that people on my island would just judge me but once I had met him everyone understood it was a real relationship.
But my advice to you would be not to just go looking for a relationship because they come when you least expect it.
