That's exactly true for me, too. If I'm asking for RP, I often feel like it's my obligation to have a purpose or driving force behind it. Otherwise I kinda flounder around, wanting to RP with someone but not having any idea what to do, and so I don't ask.
But Aya's right, flexibility is important, and you have to trust that since the other person wants to RP with you, you can both build a scene together!
Yeah, and I'm trying to work on that... but old habits die hard. Still makes me feel bad when I can't even provide suggestions for a scene, though.
