Let's also acknowledge that no one is guaranteed anything. I for one can't promise a lasting relationship with anyone who does a cold approach. I'll definitely appreciate and acknowledge that, sure, but we simply may not find common ground. I don't identify with a lot of people, that's just how it is.
Sometimes, styles, schedules, and characters don't mix. How many lore/RP/rule based arguments have we had on this very forum, after all? I find that most people won't be up front when someone else rubs them the wrong way or RPs in a manner they're not comfortable with. Instead, they'll throw ideas around excitedly, then end up letting things fizzle until there's no contact left. I'm sure that accounts for a lot of lost communication.
