    im in previous discussions on the topic, the conclusion we had come to was that a nerd was more of a book worm, into literary stuff, whereas a geek was into the maths and sciences

    No it's different. A Nerd is alot like a geek, except that a geek's life doesn't revolve JUST around computers and physics, and high intallectual fields. But also
    around relationships and stuff. OR it's the other way around?...I'm not sure....

    that still does not add to your credibility

    and this conclusion was derived between a nerd and a geek

    But I looked it up!!:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nerd

    and

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geek

    It sounds extremely similar!
    Only that there are minor differences....
    And I can't figure out the one with bad social skills....IT'S ONE OF THEM!!!

    haha, so the difference is that a nerd is lonely and a geek has an imagination?

    it doesnt say anything about the geek having social skills(well, i didnt actually read the whole thing, though nothing I saw said that), he just has imaginary friends
