"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.

Probably the wrong place to being asking this :). My WMP now makes a loud "popping" noise about every 3 seconds while the program is running. I googled it without much luck. It is extremely annoying. Has this happened to anyone else? I am currently using WMP version 11
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Reinstall or update your sound driver.

or

Make sure its not a physical problem with your speaker amplifier. Plug in some other speakers or headphones that you know for sure work.

or

It could be a codec. What are you playing in WMP? mp3, video files....

If your computer is old, downgrade to a previous version of WMP(like 9-10), should be easier on resources and help with that suttering.

Try playing the same file in winamp, if it plays fine, its the WMP's problem.
It can be a number of things, including some other program using up too much CPU or ram, thus hindering the performance.
