Though she claims to be a single lady, Disney star, Selena Gomez says that her short relationship with Twilight's Taylor Lautner was "the best thing ever."

Gomez tells Seventeen Magazine, "He's a great guy. But I am 100 percent single, and I'm going to keep it that way for a while."

According to Usmagazine.com, he two teens met earlier this year in Vancouver, while he was shooting The Twilight Saga: New Moon, and she was working on Ramona and Beezus. She told the mag:

Kristen [Stewart] was staying in my hotel. He would visit her, so we were constantly running into each other in the lobby - and we ended up meeting...We would go out to lunch and dinner, but I knew he had paparazzi following him and I had paparazzi following me. So we literally just wanted to hang out, go bowling and stuff, and it went a little too far, I think. People were getting a little crazy about us.

Though the paparazzi ruined any potential romance, Gomez said, "But it was fun - I went to Vancouver thinking I was going to focus on my work, but instead I got to meet him, and it ended up being the best thing ever...He is so sweet. Taylor has made me so happy. I didn't know I could be that happy. You probably see it in the pictures! I'm smiling so big."
