"Summer lovin&amp;apos; had him a blast. Nearly a month after Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Meryl Davis took home the Mirrorball trophy on Dancing With the Stars&amp;apos; season 18 finale, people are still buzzing about the duo&amp;apos;s insane chemistry. Asked about their special bond  in a recent interview with Social Life magazine, the veteran DWTS pro compared his relationships with Davis and other past partners to summer romances.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;Do you know what a showmance is? It is like being at a summer camp when you&amp;apos;re a teenager,&amp;quot; Chmerkovskiy, 34, explained. &amp;quot;You spend summertime away from your home. When you spend three months very closely with someone at a particular place, it is like a summer love. You have no choice but to get involved with that person.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;I am very close with a few of my past partners because they have played a huge role in a big part of my life,&amp;quot; the Ukrainian-born choreographer, who has also been paired with Erin Andrews, Mel B., and Kirstie Alley, continued. &amp;quot;Three months is a long time, and if I am going to give someone that much of my time, I am going to develop a relationship with that person.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nHis relationship with Davis is particularly dear to him. Speaking about whether he&amp;apos;ll return to DWTS for another season, he told Social Life he had to work it out, since he knows he&amp;apos;ll never get another partner at her level. &amp;quot;I want Meryl to be the last person I dance with,&amp;quot; he said, &amp;quot;the last person I got to be passionate with and care so much for.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nHe&amp;apos;s looking for a partner off the dance floor, too&amp;#x2014;someone with whom he can start a family. &amp;quot;I raised so many children at the studio that I am ready to create one of my own,&amp;quot; said the single star, whose exes include Karina Smirnoff and Kate Upton. &amp;quot;I am really ready to have a family now. I need an outlet. I have so much I want to give, and I need someone to give it to.&amp;quot;\r\nFor the full interview with Maksim Chmerkovskiy, pick up the new issue of Social Life magazine."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
