Vampire Diaries star Nina Dobrev talks about dating co-stars and relates to Bella Swan

In a recent cover of Seventeen Magazine Nina says why she won't date co-stars. "I think it could definitely get sticky if you dated your costar," Nina explained. "To be completely honest, dating an actor is very complicated. There's a lot of vanity involved. And you're always surrounded by beautiful people. I would prefer not to date an actor."

Really? Even if its someone as sexy as Paul Wesley or Ian Somerhalder?

"They're both really great in different kinds of ways. Paul definitely takes his job very seriously; he's very professional. Ian's the prankster, the jokester. We all love each other's company."

And here's what she has to say about comparisons to Bella from the Twilight Saga.

"I think that Elena has more awareness of her friends and family, and everyone around her, and looking out for everyone's best interests. But Bella reflects that unconditionally in love, the blinded love that girls really do experience sometimes. They fall in love with someone, and they'll do anything and everything for that one person. I think I'm more like Elena, but I have a little bit of Bella in me. When I'm in love with someone and they're really important to me, I will definitely take care of them, but at the same time, I'm not going to throw everything away for a relationship — I still have my friends, and I still have an awareness of everything around me."
