Hey, what’s going on everybody? My name is James and I’m a college student, at home for the summer. I’m a 18 year old Filipino about 5’6, 135 lbs. I’ll be entering my second year in the fall as Computer Science major at a SUNY school. I live in the New York City and I’ve heard about [pheromones](https://pheromonelabs.com/shop/) from a friend. However, he did not know much about them as he only heard about them in passing during a conversation, so I decided to look them up and I stumbled on this wonderful forum. Being a Computer Science student, I am generally interested in science and technology. So, I always try out all sorts of gadgets, gizmos and anything new that sounds interesting and innovative. However, I am somewhat of a loner and anti-social. I’m a genuinely shy person, not only to females but to new people in general. I feel awkward meeting new people unless I’m being introduced by someone else. And that is how I’ve met each and everyone one of my significant others to date, and even most of my friends. I mean, I’m even sometimes intimidated my meeting new people in my family. So, I just figured something like pheromones would help steer me in the right direction, especially with women. There are a couple of girls at school and at home that I have had my eye on, but have not had the courage to make a move. They’ve initiated conversation with me in the past, but I feel as if my attitude towards them seems stand-offish because I am shy and feel awkward so they are naturally pushed away. What do you guys think? What would you recommend for someone just beginning with pheromones? Thanks in advance for your help, and I hope to learn alot from the forum and it’s members and hopefully make a few acquaintances along the way. ---

Hey James, welcome to the board. I would recommend starting with some of the [social pheromones](https://a314.com/product-category/social-pheromones/). Instant Openess and Instant Honesty are both good. Instant Shine will help you to stand out in a good way. I’ve also heard that A314 is great for confidence, though since I’ve never used it I can’t give you specifics. Though if you browse the forums I know there are a lot of good posts on it. ---

Hey jb Thank you for such an intriguing insight into yourself. I have a feeling you will do great with pheromones… And here’s why I think that. You’re already the kind of guy who is into new technologies, on the fringe, on the cutting edge. You educate yourself fast, and you’re quick on your feet when it comes to change for the better. Pheromones are a social technology - a social software. They’re going to rapidly change how people react to you, and you’ll be able to pick up on this and act accordingly. People are going to be so much more receptive to you - and this is AWESOME because you are into a lot of cool stuff. You naturally have tons of interesting things to say. Welcome to the forum! Your gift cert has been sent.
