I need to make the following sentence smaller using least words but having exact meaning.

In Search of someone with same interests? If You're, Let's Chat

For that I was thinking to replace "with same interests" with a single word. I could use "someone similar", "someone common" or "someone alike". Could any of this word describe a person who has same interests? If no, then please suggest some more

  • with same interest? is romance involved? do you need adjective? I think you can make your sentence even shorter than that, like in search of your soulmate/match/kindred spirit.

  • FWIW, the contraction "you're" sounds very odd there, better to leave it as "you are". See english.stackexchange.com/questions/500/…

I think the word that you're looking for is coterie. It is a small group of people with similar interests.

Coterie (noun): a small group of people with shared interests, often one that does not want other people to join them.

Example: a coterie of writers.

  • The question is asking for a word to describe a person rather than a group.

I think you can use "someone alike" or else use "compatible"

So the sentence can be:

"In search of someone alike" or

"In search of someone compatible"
