According to TMZ spies, Pia "will have several dates with Mark during her stay" and the duo "already scheduled an evening with Mark's mother, Shirley."

Mark is "totally into Pia and thinks she's amazing," the report claims, citing a source as saying, "They're totally smitten."

Pia stopped by OK!'s NYC offices yesterday and had a pretty routine answer when we asked if she was dating Mark.

“Well, we went out with a group of people so it wasn’t really like a date,” Pia, 22, explained to OK!. “He’s a really nice guy.”
