"If you watched Good Morning America, Access Hollywood LIVE!, or any of the other dozen or so shows that Meryl Davis and Maksim Chmerkovskiy appeared on yesterday, you watched them &amp;quot;weasel&amp;quot; their way out of the dating question. For TV hosts who had hoped to finally get an answer out of the Dancing With the Stars champs (and we all know what we wanted that answer to be), Maks and Meryl weren&amp;#39;t talking. Until now. I caught up with Meryl this morning to talk about that very topic, plus a previously untold &amp;quot;secret&amp;quot; that we both have in common.\nGlamour: Hey, champ! How are you doing?\nMeryl: Hey, Jessica! I&amp;#39;m doing great, thank you! How are you?\nGlamour: I was up for 28 hours straight yesterday putting the video piece together with our editor, so I&amp;#39;m a bit delirious but good! I kept thinking, I don&amp;#39;t know how you guys are doing it either.\nMeryl: We didn&amp;#39;t! [Laughs] I know, it&amp;#39;s crazy. We flew immediately after the show, and I couldn&amp;#39;t sleep at all on the plane.\nGlamour: So what exactly happens on that private jet?\nMeryl: At some point everybody tries to get some sleep, but I&amp;#39;ve always had a problem getting sleep with the adrenaline, no matter if it&amp;#39;s a skating competition or whatever it is. So I don&amp;#39;t sleep a wink, but that&amp;#39;s OK.__\nGlamour: What have the last 48 hours been like for you? Is it a blur, or can you really soak it in?\nMeryl: No, I was absolutely able to soak it in and enjoy it. We&amp;#39;re busy doing press, but the pressure is off. We&amp;#39;re having fun in New York and just enjoying everyone&amp;#39;s company. But carrying that Mirrorball trophy around is shockingly heavy! Thank goodness Maks or my agent carries it for me. I&amp;#39;m physically incapable of carrying it around for long periods of time. I had no idea it was going to be that heavy.\nGlamour: It weighs more than you do! I was holding on to it for a good five minutes before I interviewed you and Maks on Tuesday night and my left arm is still beyond sore.\nMeryl: Oh my gosh, I know, right? That was a lot of fun though.\nGlamour: Almost every Olympian or family friend of yours who was interviewed during the DWTS process was quoted as saying how shy you are. Is that an adequate description?\nMeryl: I think a lot of people who have known me my whole life know that I was shy, because I was for so long. These people that think of me as I was as a teenager were right [to call me that] back then, but as a 27-year-old, I would not consider myself to be a shy person at this point in my life. [Laughs]\nGlamour: You recently opened up on the show about your struggle with dyslexia, which I have as well. We might learn differently, but I think we&amp;#39;re more creative, insightful people because of it. Is that how you felt?\nMeryl: It&amp;#39;s true, and I think having a learning disability for a lot of us equals an increased work ethic. You&amp;#39;re able to find a silver lining in it. I just learn differently, and my ability to come to terms with my own learning process and what works for me opens up a different way of seeing things.\nGlamour: Was it hard for you to learn the dances? The rehearsal footage sure didn&amp;#39;t make it look that way.\nMeryl: It definitely was. I had actually been talking to Candace [Cameron Bure] about that because she was saying it was hard for her to learn the dances. I was telling her it was the same for me, and she just laughed because I don&amp;#39;t think she believed me! But as someone who has done choreography my whole life, people would be shocked how long it takes me to pick up stuff.\nGlamour: Switching gears, you and Maks have been bombarded by the &amp;quot;are-they-or-aren&amp;#39;t-they-dating?&amp;quot; questions&amp;#8212;from myself included. You have managed to really work around the question, but I know it&amp;#39;s not easy for you.\nMeryl: We&amp;#39;re not dating. We have an amazing relationship, an amazing friendship, but beyond that your personal life is your personal life.\nGlamour: And according to you guys in our video piece [see below], &amp;quot;There&amp;#39;s always hope!&amp;quot; Which brings me to, what are your tips for dealing with a strong personality like Maks? You cracked him open, so to speak.\nMeryl: Aw, thanks. Just being yourself is the most important thing and being understanding of other people. Some personalities mesh better than others, and we got very fortunate in that respect. I certainly don&amp;#39;t come into any relationship trying to accomplish something. That&amp;#39;s not a great mind-set in relating to the other person. Oftentimes in life, if you can have a positive impact on someone, that&amp;#39;s what makes it worth it. What an amazing experience we&amp;#39;ve had together, but just being yourself and being open to another person is the most important thing.\nGlamour: Absolutely. We know you both want to collaborate on something in the future. Any hints as to what that might be?\n__Meryl: No, not yet. We&amp;#39;ve been so busy, I don&amp;#39;t even know what my schedule is tomorrow, let alone the rest of the week!\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
