Rather than post, and then wait... be more pro-active. The hard part about starting random RP is always starting it, and that's what you're running up against. Just as you may feel a little awkward about walking up to someone you don't know to start a conversation in-game, they feel the same way about you. The only way to get across that hurdle is to just go ahead and start the conversation yourself!
It may take a little bit of courage, and it doesn't always work, but it will be vastly more effective than passively fishing. I really suggest you give it a try! The worst that ever happens is either being ignored (oh no! Back to the situation we were already in!) or sometimes getting an irritated response (which is almost invariably IC, and not something to actually worry yourself about!)Â
Trust me on this one, just give it a try!
