Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That's not the sort of Nice Guy most people here are talking about.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
(For the record, I hate that aspect of Some Kind of Wonderful EVERY BIT AS MUCH as I hate it in Pretty in Pink.)

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I didn't like any of the male characters is "Pretty in Pink." None of them. I so wanted Molly Ringwald's character to reject them all. I could not stand them.
"Some Kind of Wonderful" I liked better, but it was much thinner on plot and realism than the previous movies. The ending of course was unrealistic.
The thing with Xander is that we aren't really rooting for him like we are supposed to for the lead character of SKOW. So I think it is okay to like him some times and not others (especially Season 6).

My favorite character in Pretty in Pink was Annie Potts. And I sort of assumed Ducky was gay, maybe even before I knew what gay was.

Until she rejects her cool vintage style to be some Yuppie's girlfriend!

I don't remember: did Xander keep his romantic intentions secret from Buffy? If he did disclose, are the romantic intentions in someone who is just friends still NiceGuy behavior?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Isn't high school all about romantic intentions misplaced--college too for that matter? Or was that just my experience.

He asked her out and got rejected in "Prophecy Girl."

I don't remember Xander being passive-aggressive w/r/t Buffy. Anya, later on, yes, but not Buffy (and I don't remember that he was with Cordelia either - that was more aggressive-aggressive on both sides).
