So Im in an rp and no one really talking with my character. Im a bit mad but I dont really care. Everyone seems to have someone to hang with in da rp.... what do I do??

Try talking to the other characters/hitting on the male characters

Thats a good idea but certains female characters hit on males characters I want to talk to but then they walk off

Just cause they're taken doesn't mean you can't talk to them. Try DMing them and maybe discuss plots. Ive found that works out.

Oh ok

Try to ask around maybe? Make some threads in the Looking for RP section. Be fairly warned. Some people have prefs, so speak to your partner on what your comfort zones are.

I try to but they ignore me and continue to rp

Well. I am open to anyone if you wanna RP. I also have an open RP if you want a link.

Navigating RP when you're younger can be kind of a pain in the butt, since everyone is still figuring out what they want to do vs. what is polite. Creating boundaries and being clear about expectations, basically. The give-and-take that makes RP really satisfying isn't always fully there yet.

I guess it depends what you want to do! If you're not getting any bites from the RP you're currently in, it's probably time to start looking again. On the other hand, it's perfectly possible that the folks you think are ignoring you are trying to figure out how to respond. Maybe you're jumping in the middle of a thread that they had planned or something? It might be better to send a quick OOC note to them via PM or on an OOC part of the forum to state what you were hoping for and to advertise some plot hooks. It could be as simple as 'hey, I'm looking to practice RPing this character. Is someone available to help me out?'

Note that other players may not always be available, obvs, but if they're not providing what you're looking for it's always about managing your expectations or looking for a different player. Respect their wishes and work on being clear and/or concise in wording yours.
