Some friends of mine can't walk ten fulms without being propositioned; I can plant a character* in the QS and only get regular RP every time.

"What makes people bug my friend for ERP and not me" is the philosopher's stone of RP. Â Whoever definitively figures it out will be truly enlightened.
I first started MMO RP in WoW BC, and it was often a really upsetting experience. Â I'd engage some random new person who seemed really interested, and I'd think "wow they must really like this character profile I've lovingly written", only for things to take a swift turn to the explicit. Â I'd nope out, confidence bruised over the fact that my character was some interchangeable avatar with a body type/hair color/whatever that the other person was into.
That hasn't happened to me for several years now, and there are too many variables to really pin down why.
Like I said before, though, I don't mind being asked and saying no. Â What's more of a bummer is when someone springs the idea after you've scened together a bunch of times, and when the answer is no they up and vanish. Â I haven't had that happen in a good while either, but I've read posts here from those who have.
