Well, we all know Jennifer Aniston is a great Friend, but how is she as a dinner date?

"I have other friends I would rather go to dinner with less!" Josh Hopkins gushed during the Nautica Malibu Triathalon in Malibu on Sunday.

But still, the hunk insists that he and Jen are "just friends." But don't "just friends" go dutch?

"I am a Southern gentleman," Hopkins said. "So I had to [pay for dinner.]" Southern gentleman? That's not exactly what we've heard, but ok, we'll go with it!

Even though Jen may not get her shot with this TV hunk, luckily ladies will still have their shot. "I am not dating anyone...I am single," he said.
