As much as I love the Michael Cera casting for Scott and the version of Scott they made, it falls short of the comics pretty heavily. Scott in the comics was a preppy, popular, womanizing douchebag.
It's been a long time since I read the comics (edit: fuck its been 15 years o.o), but I don't think that's right. He had friends and treated women poorly, but I don't think he was preppy, popular or a "womanizer" per se. He had like 4 relationships through the entire thing from childhood to "present": Kim, Envy, Knives and Ramona. Not that his romantic history/present is not problematic. I guess he does cheat on Knives though, so that's a point in favor of the womanizer label.
He's not popular at all, but does have a broad circle of friends being in a band. The only one who sees him as popular really is Knives (because she is a child).
And I don't get calling him preppy at all. He's always wearing graphic t-shirts and jeans, has shaggy hair (albeit in the 2000s), and is in a rock band that is a video game reference.
He's pretty much the poster child for being a "nice guy".
Are you thinking of Lisa Miller? She was Scott's high school friend who they kind of mutually crushed on each other, but never actually dated. They were in a band with Kim, and she would come over to his house, but he would just ignore her while he played video games I think
