I'll add to some of what's already been said.
You're young. Focus on yourself, do something significant and meaningful to you, and the rest will follow. Make a life for yourself. Carve out who you are and what you do.
People gravitate to those who do interesting things, and this often attracts likeminded folk who are easier to connect with than other folk.
It's actually quite a natural process and isn't easily done artificially or by any sort of plan. It's easy to know when someone's trying too hard. Avoid trying too hard.
Just don't be complacent, and don't be discouraged if you don't see "results." Many long-lasting relationships both romantic and platonic are formed "out of the blue" or by serendipity.
