(via mildlyannoyedrabbit):
Remember when Ryan Adams was indignantly denying his relationship with Mandy Moore?Yeah, but later on he acknowledged it. Shortly after that they broke up, apparently amicably, and he said some nice things about her. Then one of her friends shit-talked him, and he got really pissed off and fickle-blogged about that. A few months later he wrote kindly of her once more. And then they got together again a few weeks ago. Now, it appears they are engaged.
I’m going to throw something out there, and it’s this: you never know what is going on between two people and/or where they are at in terms of a platonic or intimate relationship.
I remember people feeling angered when it came out that they were involved, since he had denied it. But back then (when he said they were just friends) it occurred to me that if you were trying to woo someone, and they were on the fence, having the media and fans and random people publicly weighing in could really throw a monkeywrench into your plans. So maybe Ryan thought it would be better to keep things quiet until things had progressed farther or become clearer or more committed.
No one besides them, and their personal friends they might have discussed it with, know exactly what was going on when, really.
I’ll be honest; as a bitter divorcee(tm), I don’t like to hear about anyone getting married. But I can’t say that it’s ever been clear to me what the nature of their friendship/romantic relationship has been, so I don’t know how accurate it is to say that anyone was lying at any given point in time.

Wow, I just read on my yahoo front page about the engagement lol! Congrats to them! My hope, stated just the other day, that they have babies together may happen after all! They’d just better name them something at least approximating normal, okay?!
Bronx went(z) to some other musical couple…
the Beckhams have Brooklyn…
If they take Manhattan, I swear I will boycott…;-)
