Welcome to Pherotalk Lawrence!
Instant honesty from my experience brings some closeness and intimacy when used by lovers and persons who are intimate.
Is/a and b are usually used depending on your personality or what vibe you want to give off.
Judging from your intro is/b would work better as he seems to be that alpha male. Is/b will give you that soft , girly vibe that will attract him.
since you have a good hold as to what openness and honesty does I will use honesty in addition.
For more advice and recommendations you can visit the women section.
