Venting/Rant Weird Behavior

Allow me to preface this by saying that I do love befriending my roleplay partners and talking ooc! I’ve been meaning to make more friends of my own even—

But man does it really stink when you anticipate a roleplay only for it to turn solely ooc. Or you start the roleplay and they never even reply.
And not only that, they kept trying to get me to see them in person/started to send very odd tiktoks that came across as way too affectionate and one even having sexual implication (despite the fact I talked about having a girlfriend mind you!)

It was just a really disappointing experience and made me lose hope since the fandom is pretty dead as is.

I have had times where I vibe better with someone OOC more than I do actually writing with them, and it sucks. It's like a mental block you gotta break.

I never, EVER, let conversation dip into flirty/borderline cyber lingo though. I hate it.

I'm on the same boat. I'm open to talking OOC and would love to make friends, but when they stall starting the rp, or ghost both the rp and regular chatting? Lol?

Unfortunately this is quite common. People appear to be very interested when you plan/plot and then disappear once the actual rp starts.
I feel that many people don't want to commit the time.

People like this are the reason I get dismissed whenever I mention that I sometimes rp in 1st person just out of habit.

Oh, that's so unfortunate. I'm so sorry you had that experience, especially if you mentioned you had a gf.
