So, couple of things definitely worth giving a try.
- Walk up RP - Walking up to a total stranger in an RP hub while effective, could be hit or miss, you don't know if you're going to get quality RP, or something unwanted entirely.
- The RPC - Some of the best, and lasting friendships I have made ingame started right here on the RPC. You can see what kind of person folks are by the posts they make, along with the fact that a good portion of folks here have a wiki for their characters. The stories they may write in the Town hall can also give you insight into their RP style and whether you could learn a thing or two from them. The RPC is an excellent resource if want to make a mental list of folks you want to stalk... err.. RP with!
Follow that up with a PM to someone on that mental list asking if they'd like "meet" For instance...

To: Steel Wolf
Subject: I was wondering if you'd like to RP sometime.
Hey, I really like your character, and the (concept/story/wiki) behind them. I was wondering if you'd like to RP sometime in the near future?
That cool guy,

Now I used Steel Wolf as an example here but you get the Idea. (Seriously though Steel, we need to RP, hit me up sometime.)
- Linkshells - I'm sure you know all about these, and that they are a good way to gauge an individual. The RPC has an actively kept list of LS's that you might want to look into right... >Here!< Or you can click the Linkshells tab at the top of the page.
- Events - Every Saturday evening (depending on timezone) there's an event right outside of Ul'dah at Fesca's Wash called the Grindstone. Despite changing hands and here and there it's been going on since since right after release. I couldn't tell you how many Rp'ers attend anymore lets just say it's alot, but whether as a participant in RP combat or as a spectator it's worth taking a look.
All jokes aside. Those are some of the best things you can do to get started.
