adorkable
Endearingly nerdy, slang
Adorkable blends adorable with dork to describe someone whose awkwardness or nerdiness is endearing rather than off-putting.
The word applies to people whose social clumsiness, quirky interests, or geeky enthusiasm makes them more likable: She found his rambling explanations of Star Wars lore adorkable.
