Looking fit and chic in a houndstooth mini and heels, Nina Dobrev covers the September issue of Cosmopolitan.
 
In the mag, out Aug. 13, "The Vampire Diaries" star dishes on relationships, friendship and what she looks for in a guy.

"You either have chemistry or you don't, but a lot of what attracts me is a guy's mind and humor and talent," she said. "I need to get to know all those things before I fall for someone. I'm not a one-night-stand kind of girl. I'm a relationship girl."

The 24-year-old actress, who just ended a long-term relationship with "TVD" costar Ian Somerhalder, even spilled on her "type" of guy.

"I'm progressive in some ways, old-fashioned in others," she admitted. "I like it when guys hold the door open and are sweet and thoughtful. The guys on our show are really good at that. A man in a suit looking put together and dapper is very attractive, but I also kind of like the I-just-rolled-out-of-bed, a-little-bit-of-scruff, effortless, not-trying-hard-but-still-sexy guy. If a guy spends more time looking in the mirror than I do, that's problem!"

Dobrev also talked about her friendship with actress Julianne Hough, gushing about their connection and their great conversations.

"It's been cool to find an active buddy - there are lots of girlie girls around. We don't talk about makeup; we talk about life," she said.
 
Dobrev also insisted their common ground doesn't come from the fact they both just went through public breakups.

"That's not what our friendship is about," she said of Hough, who recently split from media king Ryan Seacrest. "Unfortunately, that's how it's perceived, but there's more to us. People aren't defined by their relationships. The whole point is being true to yourself and not losing yourself in relationships, whether romances or friendships."
