Are the Twilight Characters Dating in Real Life?

The Twilight couple have graced the pages of Harper's Bazaar come November 17, when the issue is released on newsstands. PEOPLE unfortunately didn't get a firm answer from the two about their romantic status, but it is undeniable that they have a mutual adoration of one another.

The Examiner says that Pattinson described his first encounter with the young lady who plays Bella, which was apparently "spark-filled… We had a very responsive, palpable thing."

In a previous interview in Vanity Fair, the vampire of the year claimed that he was just friends with Kristen Stewart, even though The Los Angeles Times reports that the couple spent the night in Hollywood together at the Chateau Marmont. The confusing and mysterious answer of whether these two are or aren't in love in real life continues.
