I try to be pretty flexible and bend some aspects of Nyx in order to get a plausible setting for RP. She's pretty much keeps to herself and avoids crowds but if there's an event I think is really interesting, I'll come up with a reason she would attend. Most of the time I can come up with something.
I get the whole "We should RP sometime" thing too. I like to have a reason the characters are interacting or else it tends to fall into the small-talk realm of "Oh hey, funny seeing you here" kind of thing. It doesn't need to be anything epic or sweeping, just the tiniest of hooks. Most of the time the people I chat with about this are totally fine with hashing it out for 2 seconds and coming up with some starting hook that would fit both our characters.
I like the idea of thinking in big general umbrellas and narrowing it down if needed.
