Are Chuck and Blair together - or at least heading in that direction - for good?

Of all the questions on the minds of Gossip Girl fans heading into the sixth and final season this October, the fate of core couple Chair probably ranks highest for most. Chuck spurned her in the season finale in May, but B defiantly refused to accept no for answer, declaring herself "all in." So what's their deal as the final chapter approaches?

Well, Chuck and Blair a better place ... but there's good news and bad news.

Mr. Bass and Ms. Waldorf are not officially dating at the start of Gossip Girl Season 6, according to E! Online. However, the upside is they aren't dating anyone else either. Not even a little bit.

Here's the deal, from what we've gathered: They've reportedly agreed to focus on their individual needs first, so when they do officially get back together, nothing will stand in their way.

So make what you will of that. You could say they're together but apart. It sounds like they are taking things slowly, but have every intention of a romantic reconciliation that will last a lifetime.

What do you think? Letdown? The right move for Chair? Comment below!
