MANILA - Mccoy De Leon skirted around a question on whether he is courting Elisse Joson during an interview on "Tonight with Boy Abunda" on Wednesday, and said he is content with his cordial relationship with his fellow "Pinoy Big Brother: Lucky 7" housemate.

"Wala pa sa isip namin talaga. Nako-kontento kami ngayon. Siguro pag may panahon siguro, hindi rin natin masasabi," explained De Leon.

He added that he would first seek the approval of Joson's mother if he decides to court the young actress. "Kung darating iyong time na iyon, una ko talagang paghihirapan iyong oo ng nanay po niya."

De Leon also said that he doesn't outright tell the girl he likes that he's courting her. "Ako kasi pag nanliligaw ako, hindi ko sinasabi, 'Puwede bang manligaw?' Basta ipinaparamdam ko lang."

Asked if she feels De Leon treats her different than other women, Joson quipped: "Ayaw ko naman po mag-assume. Para po sa akin, kailangan ko pong malaman, especially kasi si Mccoy friendly po siya sa mga babae."

In previous interviews, De Leon said that he grew closer to Joson after their "PBB" stint. "Nung nag-PBB kasi kami, grabe iyong samahan namin, iyong mga housemates, kasama na doon si Elisse," he admitted. "Napalapit na din ako sa kanya. Hanggang ngayon, may mga guestings po kami, tapings, siya iyong pinaka-naging ka-close ko."

De Leon is one of the grand finalists of the reality television show, along with fellow Hashtags member Nikko Natividad and Korean model Jinri Park. Joson, on the other hand, failed to garner enough public votes for a spot.

The two are currently part of the hit primetime series "Ang Probinsyano."
