John and Jennifer weren’t introduced by Sheryl Crow, have supposedly been seeing each other for weeks
In case you were wondering how John Mayer and Jennifer Aniston hooked up, it wasn’t through mutual friend Sheryl Crow as a lot of us were speculating. People Magazine reports in their print edition that they met at the pre-Oscar party of CAA agent Brian Lourd and were “first introduced… by a staffer at the talent agency, where both are clients.”

People also quotes a source as saying “They’ve been seeing each other for weeks now. It’s very real.”

Jennifer e-mailed John an invitation to join her in Miami
And US Weekly claims to have the inside information on how their Miami jaunt was set up. Aniston is said to have sent a sweet e-mail to Mayer telling him to come meet her for a few days r&r. US claims that they’ve been e-mailing for a while, but maintains that the weekend in Miami was their first real hookup.

Jennifer Aniston invited her e-mail buddy John Mayer to Miami, where she’s been shooting Marley & Me. “She told him it was beautiful down there,” says a friend of the rock star, “and she had a few days off from filming, so the time was right.”

So on April 23, the pair – who a source says have been e-mailing since a chance encounter six months ago – took their cyberflirting to person-to-person passion…

The two are said to have spent five days together in Miami, including a grocery shopping trip that had them looking surprisingly domestic as Mayer packed bags into their car. They are even said to have had a couples’ massage on Saturday at their suite at the Conrad Miami, where they moved after first staying in Aniston’s suite at the Mandarin Oriental. Aniston is said to have arranged for the massage.

Of course a lot of people are skeptical if their relationship is even real. MSat wrote an article in which she said she didn’t believe it “for a millisecond”

To me it looks like they are together and that they just threw caution to the wind and had a great romantic weekend. As for whether it will last, I would guess that it depends on how patient Aniston is and if Mayer can keep his libido in check. According to a source quoted in In Touch, Mayer predictably did most of the talking on their intimate lunch date. You can imagine that would get old fast, but Mayer also has a reputation as a player and he might skip out before he can become truly annoying.
