This is a BYU movie from 1979. It is based on a Jack Weyland article published in the New Era. I wanted to dislike this movie. It is about a a theme I struggled with, calling girls and lack self confidence. However it is pleasantly witty and enjoyable. It is on the light side, but also has a message of gaining self confidence. Scott has a hard time calling the girl he likes to ask her on a date. (I had a struggle with the same.) He calls and hangs up on her before he can say anything. (I did that too. Luckily there was no caller id in that day.) However when he takes a job at a diner, he finds it easy to talk to his coworker, Becky. Becky helps him work on his confidence, and he helps Becky realize that her boyfriend is no good for her. He just puts her down. Scott is still a nerd at the end of the movie, and often says the wrong thing, but he is gaining in self confidence through practice.
It is available on You Tube, but I have an old VCR version.
