Looks like all that flirty energy was misinterpreted.

Cougar Town star Josh Hopkins says his recent dinner with Jennifer Aniston was just a friendly meal: "No, no, we're just friends – just friends having dinner," he said, noting "There's a lot of friends I'd less rather go to dinner with."

Josh Hopkins would've made a great Mr. Jennifer Aniston.

The rumors linking Hopkins to the Friends actress, who's recently been spotted out with Lindsay Lohan's ex, Harry Morton, weren't totally discouraging for the actor. "There are worse people to be in a rumor with," he said.

And still, he did pay: "Well I'm a southern gentleman, so I had to do that."

Who will Jen be falsely linked to this week? Stay tuned!
