So here's an update on my perplexing situation. It seems like the excess of Instant Sexiness/A and MX335 might have contributed to my less than stellar interaction with my TG on New Year's Eve. I wore Come Talk To Me last night, and things went so much better. I also think the different occasion and environment had a bearing in the different results.
Product name,scent and strength: Come Talk To Me , neroli. Covered with Pink Sugar
Application dosage and locations: One spray to hair. One spray split between wrists.
Environment tested in: Community center lobby/dance room
Self effects:
I was feeling very apprehensive considering my last interaction with my TG. I was not sure how he was going to act when he saw me. However, after I applied the Come Talk To Me, my mood was elevated and positive.
Effects to others:
Last night went very well. My TG and I got along so well, it was magic. No awkwardness, no weird moments. Such a difference from the Group Leader I was interested in. I always felt so awkward around Group Leader, and it seemed like he felt the same no matter how much I tried to put him at ease.
I volunteered to cover the desk for the three salsa classes. I immediately noticed my TG's haircut. It was pretty obvious: shoulder-length to a buzz-cut. I told him I liked his new haircut. I was scheduled to work for three hours. The first hour my TG helped with the first salsa class, and I stayed at the desk with Woman 1. Woman 1 can come off a bit frosty, but she warmed up to me and shared some about her job as a sociology teacher. Then she took the next two classes, and that left me with my TG. Perfect. We talked non-stop for almost an hour. The power of Come Talk To Me. TG did most of the talking. That's how it usually is with men and me anyway. I always seem to be attracted to the chatty ones. So what did I learn about TG? He's not as young as he looks. He told me all kinds of things. He even said at one point, "I'm sure that's more than you want to know."
I noticed we were mirroring each other with our bodies leaning back and our arms crossed. It was cold in the lobby. The communication was definitely much easier this time around, and it flowed much more naturally. He also tried to sneak in a touch later in the evening before we left.
Duration of effects: Three hours
Range: within 2-3 feet of my TG
Time exposure: Three hours

Things are getting more interesting with my TG. So, I volunteered last night at dance class with him and Lady 1. Lady 1 gets cooler every time I talk to her. Cool in a good way. I wasn't going to wear any Pheromones last night, but I cheated. I wore two sprays of 12.5 mcg EST. But it was unscented, so I felt a little better about that. It made me mad ditzy. Lady 1 noticed, so I made up some lame excuse about my long commute, rush to feed my cat, yada yada. She seemed to have bought it. She offered me some donuts.
TG wasn't quite so chatty tonight. He seemed a little agitated, but he did say a couple of times that he hadn't eaten and he was hungry. At first he directed a lot of his conversation to Lady 1, and he helped in the first and second classes. We talked a bit during the second class before he went to help out. He invited me to go indoor rock climbing with him and some friends. Then we were interrupted by a patron with a long story. Grrr!!! The patron complimented me on my hair. Luckily, TG remembered where we left off in the conversation and me where and when he and his friends meet for rock climbing.
He came out during the second class to "check up" on me. I noted that the class was pretty full. He looked at me and disappeared around the corner. I was like o_O then he reappeared a few seconds later with his pullover for me to put on or drape over my legs. Bonus points! We finally got a chance to talk before the third class. He noted I looked tired, and I told I had a long day, and I told him about my current job and my search for a new job. He listened very attentively. I could have just talked with him all night, but the volunteer coordinator interrupted us and asked if I was in the class. Grrr!!! I politely excused myself and joined the class. Brian came in to check roll and told me he would find me on Facebook so I could get info about the rock climbing. I wish he had just asked me for my number, but baby steps.
So things are moving along. Like I noticed, the EST made me quite ditzy about ten minutes after application, and the self-effects lasted for about 30 minutes. I did notice some caring, protective reactions from others. Primarily Lady 1 offereing me some donuts, and my TG letting me use his pullover to wear in the chilly lobby. In the dance class, there was one older man who wanted to keep dancing with me even after the class was over. I told him I had to get to bed, and politely left.
I think I might up my EST sprays and make sure I wear Come Talk To Me or some other social the next time I see my TG. I want to get more of that protective vibe from EST coupled with the flowing communication of Come Talk To Me.
