Search Results: do girls like nerdy guys

Now I've made another question about this, but a lot had happened since then, so I think this is necessary. So let's call this guy N.
So N and I have been somewhat friends for about three years. We haven't talked too much up until this year, in which we've grown really close. We exchanged cell phone numbers, we text all the time, and we just talked on the phone for an hour and a half for the hell of it!
For the past few months we've snuck out of the cafeteria and gone to the teacher's classrooms to have lunch. I even once left my other friends just so we could talk about our nerdy obsessions in private. I'm not exactly sure if I like him, since he's not my usual forte. But you see, I've been going through a girly/lovey dovey phase where I love anything cute and/or girly. So it may just be a phase.
See the thing is, N has a girlfriend. They've been dating for a few months now, even though it's an online relationship. Now trust me, N knows it's an actual girl who's oir age and not a creepy old man. So of course that leaves a problem, and also we've bonded over close things. For example just tonight he said that in second grade his best friend died, and that he was suicidal.
NOW TRUST ME I AM NOT IN IT FOR THE SUICIDAL STUFF! But I don't think he thinks like that anymore.
Still, do you think he may like me?

by the way, if you know anything about the Persona game series, he said I'd be in one of the stronger arcanas and that he'd bring me in his party. This is known as Nerd Conversations.
