"Lauren Alaina may have showered Scotty McCreery with kisses when he was crowned the winner of American Idol on Wednesday, but the former competitors insist there&amp;apos;s nothing romantic going on between them.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;We&amp;apos;re just really good friends. We really care about each other,&amp;quot; Alaina, 16, tells Us Weekly. &amp;quot;Everyone wants us to like each other, but we just don&amp;apos;t.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nStill, Alaina hasn&amp;apos;t entirely ruled out the possibility of one day dating McCreery, 17. &amp;quot;You never know what&amp;apos;s going to happen 10 years down the road, but I doubt it,&amp;quot; she says. &amp;quot;I think we&amp;apos;ll always be really good friends.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nAfter all, McCreery tells Us, he has plenty of offers back in North Carolina. &amp;quot;They&amp;apos;re going wild for me!&amp;quot; he says. &amp;quot;It&amp;apos;s pretty fun hearing what&amp;apos;s going on back home.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nThe country singer adds that he isn&amp;apos;t ready for a relationship right now anyway.\r\n&amp;quot;I&amp;apos;m still single. I don&amp;apos;t want a girl who likes me because I&amp;apos;m the American Idol,&amp;quot; he tells Us. &amp;quot;I just want them to like me because I&amp;apos;m Scotty. That&amp;apos;s a hard thing to find, but it&amp;apos;ll work out sometime.&amp;quot;\r\n&amp;quot;I&amp;apos;m still young,&amp;quot; he adds, &amp;quot;and I&amp;apos;ve got a lot of years ahead of me.&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
