If you take away all the wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey stuff, it's just another boy meets girl show over and over again, with a bit of action and suspense thrown in. Honestly, I think the Doctor Who trend among nerdy girls stems from a sort of "I want to be rescued from my mundane life" mentality that plenty of girls - nerdy or not - idealize. Doctor Who just happens to be that guy for girls who like science fiction right now.
