I don't really see anything wrong going on in your stories, except maybe in the case of the slightly pushy girl (though I find it hard to fault someone being forward and upfront). Sometimes conversations don't go well, and I guess the same has to be true for RP conversations as well!
If you're playing an introvert, though, you really cannot blame anyone for walking away from a conversation. Its not their responsibility to try to probe around and break things open to become friends with your character. They've already taken the hardest step of broaching the conversation, and if you're closing off angles of approach you've essentially rejected their attempt to be friendly (whatever your OOC intent, that is the IC effect). That's just going to be the reality of playing a character of that nature, and yes it might grate some people because it can come off as rude, which is exactly the same as in reality. That doesn't mean you shouldn't do it, its just one of the ramifications of being introverted.
I've encountered this from the other perspective on many occasions. I've had people approach me OOCly, wanting to RP, and then once we start to RP their characters essentially rebuff every friendly overture made. I will admit that it can be rather frustrating. If you want to prompt me OOCly to RP, the least you can do is actually have your character engage rather than putting all of the onus on me, when it wasn't even my idea!Â
Anyway, I guess the bottom line is that you just do what feels natural, and what you feel like you should, and let things fall where they may. Being polite OOCly is always helpful, but can't necessarily overcome any trouble, but it can't hurt!
