A particularly aggravating metaphorical place, that people end up in when someone they are interested in only wants to be friends. It is impossible to get over someone while in the friendzone, because, as friends, you still see them too often for them to be erased from your memory, and yet, you cannot be with them the way you want.
Person 1: Hypothetically, how would you react if I told you I like you?
Person 2: I'm sorry, I don't mean to hurt you, but I want to just be friends.

Love is being okay with being friendzoned, because the pain of not talking to him is more than that of knowing he doesn't even like you. It is keeping your romantic thoughts to yourself, because you don't want to make him feel guilty for friendzoning you. It is knowing you'll never be together, but not getting over him, because you'd rather stay in love with him and talk to him everyday, than spending even one day without talking to him. It is feeling empathy when you never had in your life. It is actually caring about what he thinks about you, because you trust his judgement. It is making yourself a better person, because he inspires you to. just by being him. It is letting down your defenses, knowing he won't intentionally hurt you. It is wanting to tell him everything that goes on. It is always checking to see if he messaged you, even though you know the likelihood of that is low.

Nerd is only a label. It doesn't matter whether you are one or are not one. Nobody cares either way, and you should not, either.
