Hiya - Welcome to Pherotalk.
So it looks like we have the core of a mad Florida chapter forming? Glad your introduction to pheros was a positive one! 
Yes, pheros do work - especially when you demonstrate the social/attractive behaviours to back them up. As for what works best with you, it may take a bit of testing/experementing to find out.
TUTH is a good one but it is overtly sexual and best used when close to closing with someone or in sexually charged situations where the message is clear from the outset - clubs/parties etc, not work/class. It can also be moderated into something more social by using alongside other pheros like Instant Shine (happy/feelgood), IO (flowing conversation) or IH (close/bonding). However there are others like IG (suave/status) and Ammo (all round social/sexy/masculine) that may be more right for you.
The best way is to pick a couple of combos, get out there and enjoy yourself. Good intros might be Ammo/IS (classic!) Ammo IO, IG/IO, IG/IS and so-on. Plenty of reading on that in Mens
This thread gives all the basics on choosing using and dosing pheros effectively:
