I'm a bit late and everyone already told you the best advice so here is a story:
I started re-playing ARR during 2.2 (I think) and decided to move my character to an RP server. Initially i was scared because Arala Makeo was not 'miqo'te' of a name...but then...
One person changed not only my RP life but my character. Over something as simple as stew.
From this interaction, i got to know more people and more players, attending events and private ones. I got to meet more people randomly, got invited to more events as time went on.
But i didn't mention that i put actual effort to get noticed or open RP. I accepted anyone who approached me. Whispers and all. the story that i wrote and events i played out for not only this character but a second i was making (Alyx Quintessence) was possible because of those who were involved. I actively reached out, talked to them, made plans, put together smaller events, got everyone involved, even let a few people have those glorious RP moments over mine.
I didn't suit their needs, nor did they. I merely put effort into the work I was doing. And all that time i kept my head high enough to never look too negatively at my character.
That said- The RP connections are out there, you just have to look and ask. If you want to RP with certain people, that is what the connections forum thread is for. Outsource to other places. PM and whisper players both ingame and forums. BE ACTIVE! (Ironic considering i'm less active atm )
Also here's something i hope will life your spirits.
