If there's one thing that's sure to get tongues wagging, it's the possibility of the formation of a brand new celebrity couple. Particularly, when one half of said rumored couple is none other than Tim Tebow.

So, it's frankly unsurprising that a social outing that happened to include the 25-year-old New York Jet and 26-year-old Camilla Belle (who, judging by her past boyfriends, certainly seems to have a type and that type is "pure"), quickly morphed into a tale of a romantic date night.

But not so fast!

While it's true that the duo was spotted out together in Jacksonville, Fla., Tuesday night, the pair was part of a larger group of girls and guys who hit up the city's Latitude 30 for a night of arcade games and bowling. (Not exactly a candlelit dinner for two.)

And despite reports that the famous pals were acting like a couple, a source denies to E! News that they engaged in any particularly flirty behavior.

As for what they did definitively get up to? According to the source, Tebow, who was dressed casually in blue jeans and a gray T-shirt, and Belle, who donned black pants, a white shirt and a scarf, arrived together with a group a friends and were accompanied by a bodyguard. They headed to four bowling lanes in a corner of the joint that were blocked off just for them. (Sadly, it also remains unclear if any post-strike Tebowing took place on the lane.)

At one point during the night, Belle even posted a photo of the club's game room on Instagram with the caption, "Arcade anyone?"

So, time will tell whether these two friends are on their way to becoming more, though a rep for the actress did not immediately respond for comment. In any case, neither star is a stranger to seeing their love lives (or rumored love lives) hitting the headlines: Belle has previously dated Joe Jonas while Tebow has been romantically linked to several Hollywood ladies including Taylor Swift and Katy Perry.
