Tired of getting ghosted? Step-by-step guide to finding RP partners who actually stick, with a matchmaker that filters out mismatches up front.
The four-step playbook
- Write a specific bio. RP style (literate/para/chat), pace (instant/daily/weekly), fandoms, OC list, hard limits. Specific = fewer matches, but the ones you get stick.
- Use a matchmaker, not cold DMs. Aminoka's 1x1 RP matchmaker filters partners by all the above. No more cold-DM-ing strangers in fandom Discords.
- Open with a hook, not "hi". Drop a scene seed in your first message, "We're at the gala, your character just spilled wine on mine, go" beats "want to RP?".
- Lock in a pace within 3 exchanges. Mismatched pace is the #1 ghost reason. Ask: "what's your usual reply window?" early.
Try Aminoka's matchmaker, fewer ghosts, faster matches: Open Aminoka.
