There's a lot more speculation going on today than I'm comfortable with.   If I wanted that kind of naysaying,  I know a few other Web sites I would head to.  

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.   
 

 
I'm with you too, Gabriele. Too early to tell for sure....but we can sure enjoy the denim, M7Ms and luv's cakes in the meantime!!

Amen!!!! Am in agreement with all three of you.

Okay, caught up.....I hope we get pictures of Meryl and Charlie throwing out the pitches.  For some reason, I think it may be funny.........in a good way........and after tonight, I need laughter and a good "feel" moment.

If they are really bad and funny, they will get on intentional talk!!!!!!!

LOL.......well, I don't want them to make fools of themselves, but a nice happy, cute, funny moment would be nice.  It doesn't have to be in the pitching aspect......maybe, in an interview?
 

Maybe I'll tweet to Intentional Talk for them to show the first pitch on the show!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Carrie, no one is mad.  I'm where you are.  If they ever get toghether, it won't be for a very long time.  He's certainly not proving that he is a loyal kind of guy.  

now chickie and Maks are posting pictures of themselves alone.  Wonder if they will post any more of them together.  The damage is done.  Even people on the pro board are giving up on the hope.
I hope Meryl finds someone wonderful (not Casper) to share her life.  I think she is an amazing person.  I have liked Maks since I first started watching DWTS. I had high hopes for both of t hem.  I felt that they were what each other needed.  But, alas, we can't tell people what to do and who to be with.  I still hope they will find their way to each other, but I no longer expect it.

I do think that Meryl's sudden responding to Val and the fam is her trying to prove that she is not hurt by Maks' latest adventure.  I am glad that I have a wonderful husband and family and not having to wade through dating and relationship waters.  

I do think it's interesting that none of the "fam", including Val follow the chickie.  But as we know, that doesn't mean anything.   So, if it's public knowledge that they are not a couple, maybe they will ask people to vote for Meryl!!<G>

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?
 

No.

I think Meryl and Maks are friends. Period.  That's it.  BOTH of them have done nothing to try to further a relationship togther.  They both have chosen work and other committments rather then spend time together to develop a relationship.  Maks has done nothing wrong, same with Meryl.  That we know of.  I will not fault Maks for taking someone on a vacation with him.  If it comes up that he is in fact dating Meryl, then yeah, he's wrong for taking that girl.....but we have no clue what is going on.  To me they are just friends.  Have been but hopefully won't always be because maybe one day if the stars align it will be more.....but they have got to put each other first....not selling vodka at BJs and grand marshaling racing events.

Agree about BJs and racing events. But, if they have just been friends all along, why wouldn't Maks say that at the BWAT programs when he was asked?
 

Maks has.  He's always been more forthcoming about whatever it is they have than Meryl.  Meryl does the we are not in a relationship route cause that's probably what it is.....just friends.  She said they have an amazing friendship.  I think we have to start listening to her.
