Why can’t a nerd get the girl for once? Dudley has never been on a date, so he concocts a plan: the Progressive Dating Plan (P.D.P). His theory is simple—start by dating nerdy girls, then progress to plain and pretty girls, and finally work up the nerve to ask his dream girl, Angie Fleming, out. But after a disastrous first date with Edna Snodgrass, the meanest girl in school, and Angie’s unexpected arrival, things spiral out of control. Can Dudley recover the P.D.P. or is his dream slipping away?
