How to act on a movie date at your boyfriend's house
Gather information about family members.
You might be really nervous about going to your boyfriend's house, even if you know his family already. Asking your boyfriend questions about his family can help you start conversations.

OPTIONS:
- Ask if your mom and dad are still living at his house, and get more information on his parents. You can also ask his parents if you can borrow some of his toys from him to show that you like him.
- Not only can this break the ice, but it also creates a good impression of you and shows that you care enough about your boyfriend to be interested in his family. Find out things your boyfriend's family likes and any special news they may have.
- You may want to find out which siblings they have so you don't have any surprises on your hands. If your boyfriend doesn't know his family, talk to your parents.
- You might ask if he has siblings, if your boyfriend has friends, if his parents are supportive, and so on. Keep in mind you will be unable to talk all the details about your boyfriend's family on the date.

How to pay for braces
Pay for the whole treatment up front to get a discount.
If you can afford the whole cost of braces up front, this may be an attractive option. Discounts for paying the whole cost at once vary from office to office, but they're normally around 3% to 7 %.

OPTIONS:
- That's a sizable saving when you consider that braces treatment averages around $5000. If you decide to pay with this method, you'll make the payment during the visit in which the braces are put on.
- When someone can fill out the parts of your teeth that you'd like to serve as veneers, that person will get a discount. Pay off your orthodontics insurance for removal costs of veneers.
- The easiest way to pay for braces is to make a trip to your dentist. A regular visit can cost more, based on the information on their letterhead and the overall condition of your teeth.
- If you are able to pay the whole cost in one sitting, you can begin to pay it back up front. Go to the ocd (acv) medical center.

How to find customers
Build a plan but keep an open mind.
Construct a thorough marketing plan before you actively start your search for customers. Follow your plan closely, but don't be afraid to make changes along the way as you learn more about what works and what doesn't work.

OPTIONS:
- Among other things, you need to determine an advertising budget. Figure out how much you can afford to spend on marketing before you consider which forms of advertising to use.
- For example, don't just start searching for a slow food company with no customers on your list. Think about what the competition wants from customers.
- Before trying to market yourself, be sure to know what a typical customer thought of your product, its commitment (height, reliability) and tactics (drive appeal). Be sure to research, watch television programs, try the web, and even subscribe to magazines and newspapers.
- Once you have a written plan, then it's time to develop your strategy. Be flexible in what times you advertise.
