Hi Paul & nice to have you as a member of Pherotalk 
Great you have found the right place to learn more info about pheros here
Well i have tried that Pherlure too but end the same like you too. It’s a scam product. Well you can checked in here, a lot of members say Pherlure doesn’t work at all.
Yes i agreed with my buddy Mockingbird try some togo bottles first as they are cheaper before going for the big ones. For my recommendation since you are shy, try AMMO + some socials like Instant Shine & Instant Openness (get 2x strength if possible) Here is a link for more info on AMMO or the socials>
Mens Pheromone Guide revised 6/15
I hope i have managed to help you there. See ya
