I've been resolving to make a bigger point of looking for RPers who drop those cues, i.e. "So-and-so does this in an obviously wistful way, waiting for the next awesome RPer to take notice" and invite them over to a table or go harass them. Over the years, I've met some incredibly fun people doing so.
That said, I also find that simply biting the bullet and presenting oneself works pretty darned well. I don't think anyone who -doesn't- want to RP lingers in the Quicksand long enough to drop hints.

"But in the laugh there was another voice. A clearer laugh, an ironic laugh. A laugh which laughs because it chooses not to weep."
