What word could I use for a person with similar interests?

Question

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

A person with similar interests is a like-minded person.

ODO:

like-minded
  ADJECTIVE
  Having similar tastes or opinions.
  
  ‘a small group of like-minded friends’
  
  ‘Their interests are used to help define themselves and engage in
  social scenes with like-minded people.’

MW Learner's Dictionary:

like–minded  adjective
  
  : having similar opinions and interests
  
  He joined a local activists' group, hoping to meet like-minded people.
  [=people who shared his opinions]

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"

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