Hello and welcome 🙂 You came to the right place, but for anyone to be able to recommend anything to you, they would need to know a little more about you. Are you a male or a female? What age group? Are you in school or do you work? What do you mean by “a better social life”? Are you trying to make new friends? Are you trying to get closer to the ones you already have? Or are you trying to get invited to the parties more? 😉 jk What kind/age/gender of people are you interested in? ---

Well for a better social life I’m going to assume you mean people being more chatty and friendly. I’d get Instant Shine to put yourself and others in a generally better mood. I’d then look at Instant Honesty or [Instant Openness](https://a314.com/product/instant-openness/) to help spur conversation. For a social setting I’d likely go with Instant Openness starting with a spray or two and then evaluate from there. Pheromones however are not going to make you new friends, you are still going to have to put in effort yourself to engage people and strike up conversations. ---

Welcome Speciniff, This is a super informal and not so tailored response if you will. I would luuuuuuuv to spend more time assisting you especially since you are a newbie. We are short staffed and these gift certificates are done manually. It takes a great deal and I am back logged. I am hoping that when I catch up on my work, I can start answering these intro threads the way I use to In fact, I am hoping that soon, someone more experienced than me can come in so I get to do what I am great at, customer service. Thank you for giving pheromones a chance. Your gc was issued!
