We're rather new around here and thought we'd pop our head in and say hi and also take advantage of the collective knowledge of the site to ask a few questions. We're from a pretty small town and there is a very real possibility that people we try and engage with on the site are people that we know through business or other hobbies which could cause a certain amount of awkwardness. We were just wondering how other people in small towns manage this and any advice people have. Obviously there is the possibility of travelling out of town, but we'd definitely want to meet up for drinks and get to know people before proceeding in any way, and travelling a long distance just for a beer or a cup of coffee just doesn't seem feasible. Thoughts? Advice? :)
