I say: "Listen to Maks."  I also say, "Listen to everyone who knows Maks--his friends, his former partners, his brother, Zendaya, just about anyone who has actually known him in some capacity--says about him."   They all say what a great person he is.  

There is no evidence he is a playboy.  On the contrary.    He is a serious professional, a businessman, a coach, he has gotten an education, he has friends who have been friends for years and years, he is friends with the women we know he has dated.   There is no more evidence that he is "dating" Devin than that he was dating J-Lo.   In fact, less...what, 2 pictures?  At least, he did dance with J-Lo and hold her over his head.   His body language in the photos with Devin definitely does not suggest that there is some kind of relationship there.

On the contrary, everything we know and the educated guesses we can make indicate that all is well between him and Meryl, whatever that is.   I'm actually hoping that all this crap will push them to go public sooner rather than later.  

This all reminds me of the show "Haters" that he was on, hosted by Mario Lopez.   There was a woman who hated Maks based on all she had selectively heard in the media and on the fact that her friends thought he was hot.   As part of their conversation, she accused him of judging a woman based on her weight.   I've transcribed his response below, and it could just a well apply to all the things that the haters accuse him of, based on one picture.  

"Are you out of your f**king mind?  Do you think I would be on national television in front of millions of people, in front of my parents, my grandparents watching, my friends, people that raised me to be better than that ...and judge a woman on her weight?"     I would eliminate the "and judge a woman based on her weight" and add in your choice of accusation against him.

Just my two cents.   I am having a Denim and a couple of M&M shooters and a huge slice of Luv's cake.   Is it chocolate, Luv?   You gotta see if you can get the Easy Bake reprogrammed to do Denim cakes.

Tango, you speak my mind 100%.  Thankyou.
Correct me, if I'm wrong....  I had a look and could not find any information that this is a lover's trip as has been suggested.  Further, we don't know in which capacity exactly Maks and Devin are there and what part his association with Cantamessa will play during the trip.  Also the ads to the trip make a big point that a large number of big Italian fashion houses are also in attendance which would be interesting for Devin. 
I agree with the analysis of the pic that shows Maks and Devin posing in the museum.  If you look at Maks' hand on her waiste, he only makes it LOOK as if he was touching her with his whole hand, while he in fact keeps it away.  Tell me, if I'm wrong.....
I don't feel I am making this argument, because I am hopelessly 'stuck' on the romantic idea.  But I do believe we don't have nowhere near enough to come to these drastic conclusions.  I am ready to sit back with a stash of Denim, M@M's and Luv's cakes to see with interest what evolves.  In any event, it is a win-win situation.  We either find out there is nothing to the Devin story, Meryl has been more forthcoming lately OR it becomes clear everyone is moving on which will include US.  So all will be ok whatever happens.

LOL...i don't know i think it simply means she is aware of whats going on whatever that might be and is ok with it....whatever is between them we will probably not know....but i will say after all the trouble Maks has gone to to keep his dating life private to the point of not answering questions about Meryl or JLO or Karina....why would he suddenly decide to be out there on that kind of scale with anyone much less someone that is gauranteed to hurt his image if he acknowleges a relationship with her...i don't think he would....that's why i think we should wait for more info and see what happens...and why despite how it looks i think it could be nothing....he has posed in far more touchy feely contact with other women then he is showing in those pics....heck with Karina and the suitcase he wasn't wearing pants...and it meant nothing 

April, I hear what you are saying, but he didn't go off on a 5 day trip with Karina.  I don't know.  I hurt for both of them.  I don't think this is what Maks really wants, and I think Meryl has trapped herself by not knowing what to do and how to have a relationship with someone that's in the public eye.  I'm just very sad for both of them.  No matter what comes out, I don't think this is good for Maks' image with the fans.  Most of the public don't even know who he is, but his fans expect something better.

I know what your saying....and trust me I'm very realisic....i want the fairytale too yes but that's up to them...but i'm also ok with them being friends...I'm just not 100% convinced this is a romantic trip for them...it doesn't fit Maks usual behavior patterns....so far we have 1 like on a pic of her packing a suitcase...he's done that with other co-workers and friends....and 2 pics....one on the plane where he is not being touchy feely which is not Maks like at all....and one thats posed in a way he has posed with thousands of people....if this was Nicole on this trip he would have posed the same way and would have had an arm around her on the plane and we still would not have assumed it was a romantic trip for them and that they were sleeping together....I may be wrong though time will tell...it does look bad i know but a long time ago i said "With my hand on the Nutri-Grain Bar....I will not panic until Meryl does...I promise"  and well Meryls not panicking....i don't think Maks always uses his head and sometimes it causes confusion but I don't think he's always doing something wrong either
 

Do you guys think there is a possibility that Meryl has refused to sleep with him unless he "puts a ring on it"? (as Beyonce' would say). So, for this 5-day trip, he took someone who would?
