I imagine that if you put your intention out there to meet people of like-mindedness, the universe will eventually deliver. I was lucky enough to make friends in highschool (who I moved away from, but found their ways back into my life) that are on the same wavelength and like to have "deep conversations." There are probably people all around you, but it's hard to pick them out at first glance. I've found with some people, you can talk to them, but when you talk to them, you can't be overly intellectual- like you have to simplify it, like you're talking about everyday stuff. Otherwise they get intimidated, or don't know how to add to the conversation- so they bring it back to a topic they're more comfortable with. It's nice to have friends you can bounce new ideas back and forth with. If you keep bouncing them off random people you encounter, eventually you'll find others with something to share, and their differing perspectives will help you continue to grow. And i'm sure you won't have to necessarily start hanging with an older crowd. But, don't ditch the friends you already have. Personally, I have friends I can't have a philisophical conversation with, but there's lots of other reasons I like having them in my life. As long as they don't force you to be part of the drama, just sit back and learn from it or be amused by it. Even people who read Pavlina have their social games and soap operas. I'm sure you've read the intention-manifestation stuff. Just tell the universe somehow this void in your life is going to get filled, and I'm sure it will.
