"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Is it possible to have my laptop use a static IP at home and have an IP randomly assigned when I'm on other networks?

The reason I want to do this is to have port forwarding set up at, without having to check what IP I've been assigned by my router. It's a Linksys router if it matters.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Mine does this with the Tomato firmware. You can also try the DD-WRT firmware for Linksys. I'm not sure if this is a feature on the default firmware.

Better check a tech forum.

I recommend XtremeSystems, or MSFN.

Do you go into the router settings to configure it? I've browsed all the tabs and nothing seems applicable to my goal. I just want it to recognize my computer and assign it the same IP every time.

I'll try the tech forums later if I can't get a decent answer.
