Twilight’s Rob and Kristen – Mystery Daters?

Are they or aren’t they? That is the question. Every day speculation about true love between the two Twilight “New Moon” leads gets more intense. The fiercely private Kristen Stewart is not even coy anymore about the rumored romance, telling people to “’blank’ off” in a recent Entertainment Weekly interview. Robert Pattinson is more polite, but also avoids giving a direct answer. In some interviews, he reportedly said he “can’t get a date.” Huh? Who ARE these women who’ve turned him down and what is WRONG with them?

Kristen hasn’t made a secret of her dislike for the fame game. In earlier interviews, the testy teen has said she and Robert are “close,” “good friends,” blah, blah, blah, but now she refuses to confirm or deny at all, asserting that “…there’s no answer that’s not going to tip you one way or the other.” If “Robsten”, as they are sometimes called, deny they’re more than friends, people will believe they are trying to keep their hot-blooded affair under wraps. If they admit to being an item, some might think it’s a publicity stunt to fan the hysteria over the upcoming movie even further.

It’s true many stars have met and hooked up on the sets of their movies and TV shows. But in this case, he’s just 23; she’s only 19, still a teenager, for goodness sake. Even if they are a couple, realistically, how long is that going to last? Unless of course they take after their counterparts, immortal lovers Edward and Bella – then it might be forever.
