Emma Watson is as wise as she looks when it comes to romantic relationships. Unlike other Hollywood stars getting entangled in their love life all the time, Watson does her best to avoid dating celebrities in the first place.

The 22-year-old actress, who has been dating her fellow Brown University student Will Adamowicz. The duo reportedly met while in Oxford University in the UK, and was first spotted kissing at the Coachella Music Festival in April.

Watson and Adamowicz were seen strolling down the streets of London last weekend, looking effortlessly fashionable and cool together.

Asked whether she would date famous guys, Emma Watson answered candidly, "I try not to."

"It definitely makes me nervous. I haven't tried to make other celebrity friends or date people who are in my industry, because it's difficult and it can be really superficial. I'm lucky that most of the people I've dated I've been at university with," Watson told Glamour UK in the magazine's October issue.

"I wish someone had told me at 15: 'You accept the love that you think you deserve.' I would have approached my relationships completely differently if they had," the Harry Potter starlet said.

"I like this idea of quality control--that we don't have to accept just anyone into our lives," she continued.

"People talk about love as though it just happens to you, as though you're a victim in it all, when actually you can make good choices and bad. But women have a natural tendency to want to nurture and take care of men. I tend to date people who are quite introspective. I like deep thinkers," the British beauty told the fashion magazine.

Emma Watson is proving to be one true genius, from head to toe. She shows no hint of falling into fairytale romance.

"You always think that the guy is going to end up coming around and that you're going to be the one that saves him - like the Oasis song (Wonderwall). Actually, I don't think that you can change other people, but women always hope for the best," Watson said.

Even though being Emma Watson seems to be the coolest thing on earth, she too struggled with body image for years, Watson opened up to Glamour UK.

"My weight has fluctuated between a [British] size 6 and a 10," which is U.S. size 2-6.

"When you're growing, your body is still figuring itself out and it takes a while to settle down," Watson, a toned 5'6", said.

"I've accepted my body shape more as I've got older," the fashion icon told Glamour UK.
"I went through a stage of wanting to have that straight-up-and-down model look, but I have curves and hips, and in the end you have to accept yourself as you are," Emma Watson opened up about her struggles with the desire to look thinner.

Not only is she cool and smart, now there is so much more for young girls to look up to in Emma Watson.

"It makes me sad to hear girls constantly putting themselves down. We have these unbelievably high expectations of ourselves, when actually we're human beings and out bodies have a function," Watson says.
"We say that the pressure is coming from men, but actually it's from each other. I think women feel so much pressure these days and it can turn us against each other. But we really damage our own confidence when we put ourselves down, so I try not to."

"I keep telling myself that I'm a human being, an imperfect human being who's not made to look like a doll," said Watson.

"And that who I am as a person is more important than whether at that moment I have a nice figure."
