For the records, the friend in the title is strictly platonic, and I don’t intend to change that. She’s a great friend (except in the situation below), but we just don’t have enough shared interests to build romantic relationship. One evening, we were going to a clothing store together, because she promised me she’d help me pick out some clothes. She has great fashion sense, which is why I asked her to help me. Before she stopped by my apartment, I put on 2 sprays on Instant Openness and 1 spray of Instant Shine on my neck. We chilled at my place for about half an hour. During that time, she seemed fine, pretty much the same as usual. Then we went to the store. At that point, I noticed her becoming very irritable. She kept henpecking me for taking too much time to decide what I want to buy, yelled at me for not checking the store hours (the store closed an hour earlier than I expected), and got angry when I had trouble finding the restroom. When I asked her why she was so upset with me, she blurted out in response: “I’m perfectly fine; it’s all in your head!”😠. And when I got distracted from looking at a hot girl and crashed into a clothing rack with my shopping cart (most guys would find this funny), I clearly saw her look up at the ceiling and mumble: “Oh god, this is such a nightmare.” In the end, I was able to buy what I wanted, and we left the store. During the car ride home, she was nice and friendly again, and denied that anything was wrong. Whoa! Could the pheromones be having really that bad of an effect on her? Despite the impression this post might have given you, she’s really not a bad person. But that night, I was completely baffled. Has anyone else gotten such negative hits from what was supposed to be [social pheromones](https://a314.com/product-category/social-pheromones/) (or others, such as Ammo)? I mean, I ghosted once or twice, but that’s the worst effect I saw before that night. Is it really possible for pheromones to make someone irritable toward the wearer? ---

Maybe she was just having a terribly day and didn’t want to talk about it? Or IS gave her a headache? ---

how was she before going shopping with you? anything particularly bothering her earlier that same day, or even that week? i’ve read a lot of horror stories like yours and the common element seems to be io. i’ve only experienced io through cttm but i gather that it pushes the inner feelings out of the target (or wearer) when used alone. most of the time it leads to good things like talking more, being less shy, etc. i suspect in the horror stories, something was bothering the target and eventually the io hits him/her and the negative feelings come out. on the flip side, perhaps nothing was bothering her and she was just being “instantly open” about you taking a long time to pick your items. back in the car with you after shopping, she was either 1. faking being nice to avoid an awkward situation or 2. taken aback by being so mean earlier and was honestly being nice to you. i’d give io another go with her on a good day when you know she’s happy, and see what happens. ---

first-off, you guys werent in too close of proximity (like a closed in car for too long) so i doubt she was overwhelmed… second, shine and openess are very sexxay in a non-direct way. _sexxay_, i said. is it possible she might like ya a little? i mean, if i were diggin’ you and you were bumping into things looking at other chicks, i might get disgruntled. but then id have to do something about that. she was nice again in the car…close to YOU…which means, my dear WATSON, its elementary. woo woo, she likes you 😉 ---

> [@Wrlprchnx](#): > > Or what Lor said 😛 Yup, what Lor said. Or else, she could have her “monthly visitor.” But most likely what Lor said. Try to avoid hanging out with her alone for a little while until she finds someone else to crush on, instead. ---

I’ll stick with the “monthly visitor” theory. I’ve seen her act like that before on a few occasions, but it’s never been this bad. I’ve read in pick-up guides that girls will sometimes act like that toward their platonic guy friends just because they know they can, but I doubt it’s true for my friend. I’ve known her for years, and she’s always been a good friend. Situations like I described were rare, isolated incidents. I doubt that she likes me romantically, because we’ve never done anything more than an occasional friendly hug. One time when I sat too close to her while watching a movie in a theater, she said “it’s too close; there’s plenty of room”. And honestly (even without using IH, lol), I just don’t have any romantic feelings for her, probably due to situations like this one. (I think this is the opposite of most guy-girl friendships, where the guy is the one who wants more.) In conclusion, I’m still planning to hang out with her, even one-on-one, since she’s OK most of the time. But following Smelly’s suggestion, I’m not going to any more stores with her in the near future. As for fashion advice, I can always spray on some IO and ask one of the salesgirls. Well, if anyone else has any questions or comments, feel free to post them. ---
