Theres no magic answer here unfortunately. You will risk rejection of course. What you have to ask yourself is "is it worth the risk?". Sometimes it is, and sometimes it isnt.
I cant say that I know how important popularity is in the US. I did go to school there briefly, but it was an international school so things were a bit different. Down here (in DK) popularity isnt that big an issue. So I cant tell you how risky not being popular is unfortunatly.
I am tempted to say "just go for it". But then I think back to my school days and remember how hard it was sometimes to follow that advice. You do say you really like him. That must mean that he is worth some degree of risk though. Wouldnt it be worse regretting later that you didnt even try?
The only other option you have is to go through friends and try to get a feel for the situation. Overall though I dont think thats a great idea. Friends tend to tell friends and before you know it everyone knows. So, just go for it. If he rejects you it will hurt, but in the end it wont be the end of the world.
Good luck.
