[Perhaps the title is a bit dramatic :p]
Hey,
My name be Tom! I am fresh outta highschool and looking on to college starting this fall. I love music [who doesn’t] and my current kick is punk and ska. I’m also into literature and theatre, and frequent Shakespearean shows at the American Shakespeare Center. I am in the process in self-betterment which includes losing weight and getting in shape. However, I of course want that little boost.
My main reason of looking into pheromones is actually a self-realization. This will require a bit of story telling, so get strapped in.
I have moved a lot in my life, and have been everything from the loser to the jock to the prep to the funny guy. Now, I suppose I’m a bit of a hybrid. Anyway, I moved to my current location just over 6 months ago, and I was invited to a church youth group (please do ignore the religious aspect!).
Anyway, I hit it off with everybody there immediately (this in itself is just my easily sociable personality at work
), but the most specific case is the girl who became my best friend. I’ll refer to her as “Rachel”. Rachel, in general, was not open to new people. She really trusted few, and it was usually a guy she had feelings for, that she had known for a very long time. The way she was raised was sheltered, but her herself is not sheltered, she is very world-aware and sexually minded (given the right type of guy.) But, lo and behold, BAM, I even easily became friends with her. Within 4 months, we became best friends. This is an unprecedented feat, because as I said earlier, this type of stuff takes YEARS with her.
Now, the problem is, I’ve been interested in Rachel since I’ve met her. The problem is, although I say personality-wise and such I’m in good standing, I’m missing A) the looks (I’m not so much ugly as just kinda “eh”) and 2) something undefinable.
Another thing is, although we’re close, I sometimes suspect she’s holding some information from me, though this may due to conversation-length constraints (she has no PC or cell, so my time with her is constrained to 2-3 days a week[for now, more explanation later] and we’re rarely alone, when we are alone there’s this slight bit of awkwardness, it would seem). Anyway, although we swore to complete openness, I’m never sure.
Another thing is, I’m starting college in the fall, and her parents may let her take some classes at the same college (I’m hoping we land some classes together
) and this means…guys. Guys EVERYWHERE… and of course, as a good friend I’m naturally protective, as somebody liking her I’m naturally jealous. Not a good combo. The fact that she is just outright beautiful and sexual will not make a good combo.
Anyway, here’s the gist of what’s going through my mind:
I’ve been sitting here thinking, my awesome ice breaking and befriending her is pretty rare… then I somehow (I really don’t remember where I first heard!) remembered…pheromones. I remembered how they are pretty much nature’s match-maker and all that jazz. Then I read an article on cracked.com [yeah… I know…] it mentioned pheromones again, and how it played into other men and aggression and such. Then I thought, that makes sense, as although I’m really close with Rachel’s family (her brother is another good friend of mine), I’m scared shitless of her father, but I have NO REASON for it!
This got me wondering a new thing, What if I give off most or some of the key of the pheromones that she’s attracted to naturally? Would this explain somethings? And which ones am I falling short on?
So, basically, tonight I decided I must find out, so I came here. I just want a bit of an edge, not only for my friendship/relationship with her, but really for people in general. I’m not as shallow as I may seem, I’m really somewhat deep and compassionate, I just have a hard time approaching some people. I also want help in general with my upcoming college social life. I’m also thinking maybe some of these sprays can help me in my job search (I’m very intelligent, I guess my age/inexperience is a disadvantage)
I do realize this was long-winded, a bit on the pathetic side, and I do apologise.
My questions are as follows:
- honestly, will pheromones give me the boost I’m looking for? I’m not looking for a magic cure, just a boost that I could maybe build off of.
2)Are the mini size/To-Go really as potent as the real deal? I’m on a budget and I may have to start with those.
- [OPTIONAL] Am I totally in the wrong for wanting to experiment with these? I do hope my motivations don’t seem shallow
