"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

When I do squats my left knee behind it I guess it's the ligments or the two things on the backside on each side of the knee. When I squat it pops on one side and it throws my concentration off but my other knee is find.

What could be the cause of this though it doesn't hurt or is there pain it just pops each time I squat? I just don't want to start favoring one leg over the other as balance is important.

I wonder if I injuried it a few years ago or if it's even a injury when I went real heavy with 400 pound squats but can't remember having this problem before and my top squat lately is only 105 since I don't have a squat rack I have to lift the bar from the floor to my shoulders.

Any ideas?

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

I have decided to just rap my knees so I don't feel this pop or whatever it is that is going on with the one knee. I know I will get the same feeling just bending my knee back without any weights at all so I would reckon since there is no pain I have not injuried myself and it is safe to continue squating.

Do you have any pain in your knee when you walk or something? Or like when you bend it to the side?

I heard the pop first time I did my squats but never after that because first time I did was wrong form... Hope that kinda helps!!!

No pain at all in the knee joint area or on the knee.

I guess I am discriping this as hearing a pop but not hearing anything. I can stand with out any weights and bend the one knee and I can feel a interference like it has to go over a bump or something before continuing on to it's full bend if that makes any sense. I guess that is the best way to say this as interference and not a sound not to confuse anyone here I'm not the best at articulating this sort of thing.

But definitely no pain which is a good sign in my opinion just takes my concentration off a bit when I squat and I have also tried adjusting my stance and the same thing.

Thanks.
