Smart ass, heavy drinker, and combative! I like him already. 
But I do understand that such personality can stand in the way of random RP sometimes, since walking up to someone out of the blue to greet them is not be something your character might do.
My suggestions would be...
If you see a character you want to interact with, send them a /tell! Or a PM if you see something on these boards. Having a short OOC chat can lead to meetings between characters that don't have to see out of character. I personally had the most successes going this route. And don't feel intimidated! This community is very welcoming!
Or if you are hanging about the Drowning Wench or other public RP places, I usually self emote my characters doing something, to perhaps let other players know that A) I am an RPer and B) perhaps give them a hook for them to interact with my character.
And I do the same by reading other people's emotes, if they are doing something that would catch my character's interest, I notice them in /em! And hopefully that can get some kind of an interaction started.
Lastly, as Franz pointed out, the is the Making Connections area where you can put what you are looking for out there and see if there are any bites.
Oh, and if you have a wiki or a profile made, that also helps other players figure out what connections can be made between yours and theirs.
I wish you luck and lots of fun!
