After nearly 3 months following her break up with Ian Somerhalder, Nina Dobrev is enjoying the single life and spending times with close friends. "The Vampire Diaries" star is featured on the cover of the September issue of Cosmopolitan magazine spilling details on her past and current relationships.

Dobrev set the record straight when it came to her spending time with girlfriends seeing as the media refers to it as a pity party.

The "Let's be Cops" actress told the magazine, "That's not what our friendship is about. 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."

Dobrev also opened up about her close friendship with Ryan Seacrest's ex-girlfriend Julianne Hough, she said, "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."

Now that she is single, Dobrev has certain things that attract her to a guy, she revealed to Cosmopolitan that, "You either have chemistry or you don't, but a lot of what attracts me is a guy's mind and humor and talent.

"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."

As far as her type goes Dobrev let the magazine know she a modern yet old-fashion kind if girl, she explained, "I'm progressive in some ways, old-fashioned in others. 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!"
