That's what you'll have to spend your first week doing. And you don't need to feel guilty. If someone writes to you and you have to fight the urge to laugh out loud, well, don't fight the urge. They can't see you and for the first time in your life, you don't have to care about being picky. You can hit the delete button without even blinking. You can internet wink and then change your mind. You can email and then get bored. You can really do whatever the hell you like because, hey, you're an internet dater. And you're also 33 which gives you mature internet student rights. Yes, that's right - YOU -you can do whatever the hell you want to do.
Get those emails in, send those emails out and then...begin to shortlist.
