To Reach Out, or To Not Reach Out~ Which do you do?

[echo]

This has been a topic I have been curious about for sometime. As an individual who is prone to panic attacks for anything posted/shared, or ideas/thoughts to reach out about, I am curious how others go about approaching others for roleplays.

How many times is too many to reach out? Do you even bother to?

Like, I have reached out to several, more than once, and sometimes it just feels as though I am doing more pestering than trying to state, "Hey, I wanna write with you." Sure, I want to write with that person, but I do not enjoy being brushed off or pinned as a pest.

So, here's the question:

When do you stop reaching out? Have you reached out? What is it about it that is enjoyable, or is it more a pain in the ass than what it's worth?

I crave good stories with writer's who put forth the effort, but sometimes... I just dunno if it is worth the cost of the anxiety released, ya feel?

Remove if not allowed. Genuinenly curious, hence the posting of it.

I reach out.

I don't have my own RT (or...I did, a long time ago, and I haven't bothered resurrecting it), so I don't have people approaching me.

When I reach out, though, I put a lot of effort into my OP to show my prospective partner that I am serious about engaging and writing, that I have put (and am capable of putting) thought into the story idea.

Then I leave it. If the partner responds, great, I know one way or the other. If they don't respond...I move on. I never chase.
