Are Kristen and Rob Dating?

If you are like me, every where you go there are magazines that have combating opinions on whether or not Rob Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are actually dating. At first I passed these off as rumors, maybe even marketing for their new movie, just like with Twilight. But now the rumor that they are dating is getting more plentiful and it seems to be the truth everyone believes, so I decided it was time for a more in-depth investigation. Obviously I can’t just go and ask Rob and Kristen, as much as I would love that, so instead I decided to examine all the articles and see which ones seem to be the most reliable, this is what I found.

First of course there was the caught kissing photos. You remember those right?

Basically the rumor was that Rob and Kristen were caught kissing at the Kings of Leon concert. Although the pictures looked promising, further investigation showed that there was probably no kissing going on.

Then there was confirmation by unnamed sources, such as this article in HollyScoop.com which says:

A source close to the couple confirms to Hollyscoop, “Rob and Kristen are definitely together!”
The source added, “Rob has been crazy about Kristen since they first started filming Twilight. Even though Kristen had a boyfriend at the time, Rob made sure she knew he was crazy about her.” …They would enjoy romantic dinners together after shooting would wrap up and reportedly wouldn’t stop kissing even after the director called “cut.”
“Kristen and Rob have been dating for a while, but they have been very hush, hush,” says our source.

This is a great story and maybe it is even possible, but I have a hard time taking the word of a unnamed source. I prefer sources that dare state their opinions and their names. Such as this article from OK magazine where the source is a waitress at a Vancouver Restaurant that is popular with the cast. Here is what she had to say:

A.T.: How about Rob and Kristen, what is their dynamic like?
Hostess One: Doesn’t everyone just know that they’re dating?

A.T.: Uh, you’d be surprised how many don’t want to believe it.
Hostess Two: Oh, well everyone here knows. They are the only cast members who will come in alone a lot. You can just tell by looking at them. They’re really cute together, always smiling.

A.T.: Love it! Hate to say it though, but “smiling” and “Kristen Stewart” seem unlikely to be in the same sentence together.
Hostess One: No way. She is incredibly sweet — I’d be a bitch, too, if there were cameras constantly in my face. But she’s great, and so is Rob. They just seem to make each other happy.

Believe it or not this is a source that I do believe. I mean it is possible she was just trying to stir up gossip or wanted her 15 minutes, but I didn’t get that feeling from her. In fact so far the Canadians have proven to not only be a good source, but basically nonchalant about Twilight.

If we really want answers it is best to go straight to the source, so I wondered what Kristen and Rob were saying? But unfortunately even that was a little cloudy. For example Socialte Life quotes and article from ET! that states what Rob has to say about the dating rumors, and apparently he finds them “Ridiculous”, Check it out:

“It becomes a joke,” the dreamy-eyed Brit tells Entertainment Tonight. “There was some magazine the other day about me and Kristen and when you look at it and realize it’s on the front of a magazine… You realize that people are actually reading that even though how ridiculous it is. It’s really bizarre.”

Hmm, it doesn’t exactly sound like love to me yet, but could this be a cover up? We may never know, although apparently there is supposed to be an article coming out in December In-Touch Weekly where Kristen and Rob finally come out in the open, but I am not holding my breath.

So what did my investigation turn up? There is nothing new with Rob and Kristen and there is still no Robsten, but I think that there is definitely something there. The only thing I know for sure is that rumors of marriage are absolutely false. In fact the “wedding” that magazines continue to talk about is actually the wedding from Breaking Dawn. The evidence is right in the description

What do you think? Are the rumors true? Share your reasons why!!
