If you're walking away after 5 minutes, then it's quite possible that you're not giving the other person enough time to respond. Especially in those cases when you get a follow-up tell saying, "I wasn't ignoring you," it's quite possible that the other person was in the midst of writing their post when you left. I'm a para RPer and it can easily take me longer than 5 minutes to write a post.Â
Another good idea is to always open with an OOC /tell to make sure the person is (a) not afk and (b) currently in character and looking for RP. I idle in public places sometimes while I tab in and out of the game, and I know it's a common practice.
The suggestion to look for RP on the "Making Connections" forum is a good one. Scheduled RP is often richer than walk-up RP anyway.
