I don't crush so much as spot folks I think .. Hmm that might be a nice RP, or they maybe need a hand.
I almost never PM people for RP, I prefer a more IC approach. Often that involves spotting the person is on (I have a search macro I fill with those from RPC who wanted some RP) and then IC bumping into them. Then things either gel into fruitful RP or it is just a passing exchange.
Other than that I generally RP at people as I am out and about, and maybe 20% of those get a response.
But then I am from the pre-internet era, where nightclubs were the main way to meet people. So you had to walk up and initiate some kind of contact with a stranger. BTW I was terrified and not very good at it.
From my own perspective I am always IC (or able to flip IC). I respond IC if talked to. I am happy to receive PMs and often drop anything (but RP) to go RP.
My immediate turn off's are.. RPing while in DF/PF, not staying IC, wearing end game gear like a badge. After that I look for responsiveness & willingness to give to the RP.
