Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber were spotted out for dinner in Beverly Hills just a few days ago, with many speculating the Biebs was trying to woo back ‘The Heart Wants What It Wants’ singer. By the end of the meal, however, those watching the couple from nearby likely put bets on the fact that Justin Bieber failed.

It’s been a few months since Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber’s most recent split, but he rented out Mastro’s Steakhouse for the evening, did “a lot of talking” and ordered way more food than two people could possibly eat. It seems a lot needed to be said, however, so they “didn’t seem to eat much,” a source told Hollywood Life.

“Justin and Selena were alone in the restaurant. They came in very late and looked to be in deep conversation. It seemed like Justin was doing most of the talking. They arrived together and left together. They ordered a few appetizers, a couple of shrimp cocktails and some crab cakes, but didn’t seem to eat much. It didn’t look like they were on a date–there was no kissing, hand holding, or anything lovey dovey–just a lot of talking and nodding. They weren’t here for very long, maybe an hour or less,” someone in the restaurant (personnel, no doubt) told the publication.

Justin was said to have done most of the talking, with Selena Gomez listening politely and adding a few words from time to time. Do you suppose he felt this need to romance her in light of a rumor that she and DJ Zedd are dating? The two were spotted together at a Golden Globes after party last weekend, and were seen holding hands.

Hollywood Life goes on to report that Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez chatted together in his vehicle for almost a half hour after leaving the restaurant. At that point each went their separate ways.

Do you think Justin Bieber has lost all hope of ever winning Selena Gomez back? Should he just throw in that proverbial towel and move on?
