Lauren Conrad's New Boy?

After photos surfaced of Hills star Lauren Conrad getting cozy with My Boys funny man Kyle Howard, the rumors started that the two were dating.

Typically, when two people aren't dating, isn't the best way to quash the rumors to flat out say, "We aren't dating"?

Well, when they were asked about their situation, these were the answers given:

Lauren: "I'm just dating. I'm single and having fun."

Kyle: "I'm not going to answer that."

Lauren's answer is okay, but if they're not together, Kyle's answer is ridiculous. Maybe he's trying to ride the Hills publicity wave a little bit longer?
