You know, one thing that stands out from your stories to me is the fact that you (and your potential RP partners) are talking *about* your RP expectations instead of just jumping into RP. Even the first one where you warned them that your character was an introvert.
In general, I like to avoid talking OOCly about RP with other folks except in very specific circumstances: If we're doing conflict RP, it's essential to know where people's limits are and to coordinate the conflict; I'll also happily talk about my character's RP with other characters with someone I've RPed with already. For the most part, though, I just jump into character and what develops develops. Just like in real life. Maybe my character and the other character hate each other at first sight. Maybe they become fast friends. Who knows? But I do like to let the characters develop things. Talking too much about RP OOCly with someone I haven't RPed with always seems to be a sure fire way to have stilted RP based on OOC expectations.
Especially if you and your character are introverts, try this. You might enjoy the more natural way RP develops.
