Does he like me??????

ok so there is this guy. He is a nerd. i know that, but i don't care. Nerds turn me on.....anyways his name is robbie we have been friends since last year, and his best friend and my best friend hazen was my boyfriend for like two months then we broke up and hazen found another girl so he really dosen't talk to me and robbie anymore so me and robbie are closer than ever. He always talks to me and makes sure i'm ok. He hugs me ALL the time. I asked him out like a month ago and he said no....so i don't know if he likes me and he's just denying it or if he really dosen't like me
