Okay just to flip this..
I have a macro that searches for people off RPC that are new and want to RP, and that I feel I could engage with. Currently there are 10 on that list. I seldom get a hit, and when I do they get a /tell and a hello. Most of the time (90%) they are too busy to RP there and then, so it is "later".
Overall I maybe get to 3-4 people a week with some intro RP. Even if we do RP that is just a little thing and generally gets them an IC/OOC contact.
This "no RP" is not a one way thing. It take 2 at least to RP (though I can RP as 1 = sad)
What I have directly seen work is - Join a linkshell (mine in this case but I am sure others are similar)

What I have directly seen work is - Join a linkshell (mine in this case but I am sure others are similar)
- get some immediate hello and interest
- pick up on some of the RP when it happens
- have some people to meet at events.. or go as a group
- Q&A
- even just friendly chatter
- maybe get the inside view on some FCs
