Anne Hathaway on learning to let down her guard with men

Anne Hathaway is coming clean about her issues with men, and how she's learned to trust again after the public meltdown of her relationship with Italian con man Raffaello Follieri.

Cover girl for this month's Vogue, the star talks about what her deal breakers are when it comes to love.

"Uh ... fraud?" she jokes, adding, "It takes a minute for me to let my guard down, but once I do and I get to know someone, I'm very open, very trusting. Some might say too trusting, because considering the amount of money that can be made from selling gossip, I could be very easily taken advantage of."

Hathaway is currently dating actor Adam Shulman, though she said it "took us a pretty long time to get together."

When Hathaway set about dating Shulman, she felt pressure "to be the most, to be more comfortable and open than anyone else. When you finally realize that you can just be your own scared ... self and that you can still be sexy without trying to be, it's such a great relief. When uncondensed you is enough."

What do you think of uncondensed Anne? Tell us in the comments section below.

Anne,
Sometimes less is more. Whoever your publicist is I would change them out. Its nobodies business who your dating now unless of course you want the world to know. Your a talented former Oscar nominee. Fame is a very slippery slope. One of your mentors and fellow thespians Julie Andrews would be a great example of using good judgment.
Look at her career. Brilliant and I'm sure she had her challenges behind the curtain as well. Perhaps the phrase "grow up and smell the coffee" should be one of your mantra's. Be the warrior goddess your capable of being not a wimp.
You live in a fish bowl....transform it into an ocean so you can swim freely. Just remember that sharks are everywhere and you are a bright light in the darkness. A little common sense goes a long way darling. Why not try some.
