Hi gotmoose & nice to have you as a member of Pherotalk 
Good you decide to join in this forum & your keen interest on pheros & info about it too I can understand why you are still skeptic there well tell you what if you have tried it out the pheros here, you will be shocked by the result & will become a believer like me too.
Ok i see you are ordering a good selection there. Well congrats on making your first order soon. Ok good you are thinking of trying Instant Openness & Instant Shine & TUTH on your close friend of yours. Well i can recommend you my suggestion try Instant Honesty & TUTH as these two are suitable for intimate relationship but i leave it up to you to decide. Hereis a link to more details to the pheros here> mens pheromone guide
I hope i managed to help you there. See ya
