DWTS Season 18 - Discussion - *Spoilers*

Meryl said on Wendy Williams that they were not dating and when asked about having a boyfriend she said she liked to keep that type of thing private.
I was SO disappointed....

But at one point in the interview when the camera went on them they were holding hands so maybe they slipped up there.  I do respect her (them) for wanting to keep their personal lives private.  Here is the link for the video of that interview.

I truly believe they love and respect each other: I guess it's possible they are just not "in love" with each other,

If you listen to her answer to Wendy she said "we like to keep our personal life personal".  She was also leaning towards him throughout the interview.  I just think she is a very private person but I think there is definitely more feelings there than just friendship.

I would guess that Maks would like to date Meryl, given how he reacts to her, but I am having more trouble seeing Meryl choosing to date Maks.  Hard to say why, but I think that even though she knows how to handle him and cares about him, she might prefer to stick to what she grew up with, which seem to be calm, happy, less moody people.  And I can't imagine her dating him unless she thought it could be serious; she just doesn't seem to be the type.  And, well, she is YOUNG and still career driven, and it probably isn't on her agenda to get involved with a hot, sexy but not all that easy guy who has stated multiple times that he would like to start a family.

People can love and care about each other while realizing they aren't meant to be together.





I've learned with this show to not trust what you think you see until you've received outside verification.  I very much enjoyed what I saw, though.
