Ryan Gosling & Eva Mendes make out in public, but shes more into it than he is

Why do I keep forgetting that Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes are a couple? We have all of these convenient photos of them together, taken conveniently during their Thanksgiving holiday in Paris, and they’re conveniently starring together in an as-yet-unreleased film. Why do I keep forgetting that? Maybe it’s because Ryan has been single or single-ish for so long, and I’ve got the mindset that he’ll be taking his latest piece to Disneyland any moment now? Maybe it’s because I think Ryan isn’t so much “in love” with Eva, but he just realized that his Disneyland whore parade probably wasn’t keeping his female fan base happy? Or is Eva the one pushing this relationship? That’s what Star Mag would have us believe – they claim that Eva is totally into Gosling and he’s all “meh.”

On the menu for Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes: plenty of PDA! Golsing, 31, and Eva, 37, were simply sizzling during a dinner date at the Beverly Hills Hotel’s Polo Lounge on Dec. 2.

“They were making out during their meal and also outside the eatery,” an observor tells Star. The passionate evening follows a lovey-dovey late-November trip to Paris. But since they’ve only been dating since September, is it all too much, too soon – for Ryan at least?

“Eva was more touchy and affectionate than Ryan,” says the observor. “He looks into her, but she seems even more into him.”

Sure, I’ll buy that. I think Ryan plays at the wide-eyed puppy-love stuff, but he’s probably not all that affectionate and romantic when it comes down to it. Anyway, In Touch has a story about Ryan and Eva too – apparently, Ryan’s friends don’t care for Eva, and they all hope he’ll get back with Rachel McAdams. Code Red: Ryan Gosling’s friends are all chicks who have seen The Notebook too many times.

Ryan Gosling sure seems happy with new love Eva Mendes, but it looks like his buddies aren’t quite as overjoyed. A friend tells In Touch that Ryan’s pals haven’t warmed up to Eva and hope he will rekindle his romance with Rachel McAdams, whome he dated for more than three years before they split in 2008.

They like Rachel a lot more – she was as close to Ryan’s friends as she was to Ryan himself.

“She’s fun and a fellow Canadian,” the pal says.

Yeah, I guess I’m one of the few people that actually LIKES Michael Sheen and Rachel McAdams together. I hope Rachel and Michael are solid, and I hope they get married some day soon. They seem like a “real” couple – she’s pretty and family-oriented, he’s intelligent and eccentric and talented. Sorry, Notebook-fiends, but I prefer Rachel with Michael. It seems like an adult relationship, as opposed to whatever boy-drama Ryan has going on.
