"He considers himself single, but acts like a couple when he is around her," the source explained.
Pattinson is currently in Canada filming his latest movie "Maps To The Stars" and his focus on work has reportedly left him with no time to focus on his love life.
"He still isn't ready to pull the trigger on a full relationship as he will be away filming...he doesn't want to ruin something that is blossoming by leaving," the source said about Pattinson and Keough.
On July 3, a representative for Keough denied romance rumors. The rep also confirmed that viral photographs allegedly of Keough and Pattinson together were not actually of the actress.
"Riley isn't dating Rob," a rep for the actress told Just Jared. "And I can confirm that Riley was not photographed at all this weekend."
The 24-year-old actress, who is the granddaughter of famed rock and roll legend Elvis Presley, recently took to her personal Twitter page to address ongoing speculation about her bond with the British actor.
"Myself and Rob are nothing but good friends...why are people trying to make stories out of that? Its nothing but BS! Have a good day all," Keough allegedly tweeted.
