oooo fun thread !
Did you have any of these "roleplayer crushes"? y/n, is it just me, being a creepy nugget?
I cant say if you are a creepy nugget or not, but i can say that if you are, I am too because I so totally can relate !
How do you handle these? Do you just send an aggressive PM/tell with things like "you, me, RP, 8PM EST"?
I have been so incredibly fortunate that really neat people have more backbone than I do and send me VERY welcome tells out of the blue saying "oh, hay i have seen you posting pictures on RPC" or "Oh i read your wiki it was neat". In fact that is how I know most of my friends in this game ! I have tried to pay it forward (I am looking your way, Eckerd !!) but i will always be slow at that - just who i am ! Generally though if someone wants to get to know me I try to be really friendly and my calendar is not so full that i cant spare a little time to get to know a new character !
Stories to share? Bonus points for embarrassing things.
Stories ? Hmm well there was this one time when this nerd named Martiallais PMed me and said 'hay come RP with me !' and I was like 'k !' or this other time when this other nerd named V'aleera and I just kept showing up at the same events and sort of got into a situation where it would have been more awkward NOT to say anything IC. That is pretty much how it goes with me ! I am easy to deal with - what can I say ?
Did senpai notice you, when you started emoting at them very very loudly?
I can't think of any times that i was bold enough to try to catch the attention of someone i really want to RP with IC. Really, it's mostly like what the lovely Ms. Faye said:
Just how excited do you get when plotting with these new people, and realize they love your ideas and bring even more material on the table?
I am always sooo excited to plan and interact with new people. Like 11/10 excited - it really inspires me to get new perspectives ! Many of them totally just ate up my enthusiasm, but I have to remember that not everyone is like me.
Did like, once, this person was actually pretty awful and you regretted everything?
Idk, regrets. . . Always some regrets, ya ? I mean there have been times when i completely got off on the wrong foot with someone and just wished I had a reset button. But that's all part of the experience and I feel like it comes with the territory of meeting new people.

I usually just ignore it and sit and mope because I'm awkward and anxiety-ridden and can't actually bring myself to initiate contact with someone I admire most of the time. Best I can usually do is hope to catch them somewhere IC, hope my character has a reason to approach them, and see what sticks.
