Are Lucy and Tony dating?

We've had our eyes on Lucy Hale and MKTO's Tony Oller ever since the two started exchanging flirty tweets back in December. From Tony supporting Pretty Little Liars, to Lucy sending him flirtatious jokes, their twitter chemistry had us wondering if there we love in the air for these two longtime pals. So, when we finally had the chance to come face to face with Tony himself, there was just one question we had to ask: Are you and Lucy dating?" Tony's reply? He blushed, covered his face, and stuttered to twist, "We're… we're just close friends." OK, so it wasn't the most convincing denial, but until these two are willing to confirm anything further, we're just going to have to take Tony's word for it!
