Nina and Ian’s chemistry is undeniable, but SHE is the one who’s really into their relationship!
Leading body language expert Dr. Lillian Glass has confirmed to HollywoodLife.com there is definitely something going on between Nina Dobrev and her Vampire Diaries co-star Ian Somerhalder — but her affections are a little one-sided!
“The chemistry is there, but they are doing a good job trying to hide it,” Dr. Glass told us after looking at photos of Nina, 21, and Ian, 31, courtside at the Lakers game May 27 and shopping together in Venice, Calif. May 28. “She’s very into him. There’s no question about it. She’s always looking at him, or leaning toward him. They can hide all they want, but the body doesn’t lie. The truth comes out.”
If anyone is trying to keep this relationship under wraps, Dr. Glass think it’s Ian.
“His hands are in his pocket [while they are shopping], which means he’s hiding, and his thumb is down, which means he doesn’t want to reveal anything,” she said, explaining, “He’s tight-lipped — it means he’s holding back. He is trying to deny the relationship.”
We hope Ian doesn’t deny his feelings for too long — the last thing we want is for this relationship to take as long to develop as it did for their onscreen characters, Elena and Damon. They’re bloody perfect together!

omg. how u havent noticed yet? When their are kissing each other on the serial, they do ”something” with them tongues. (make out?), and when Nina and Paul kissing each other, they just kiss each others lips. and this is a big thing. because on the vampires diaries her boyfriend is Stefan, not Damon. P.S. sorry for mistakes, i couldnt speak english very well. ;DD

but every time Nina kisses Ian on the show she is supposed to be Katherine who is nothing like Elena (who kisses Stefan). Kat likes to play with people, she uses guys for her amusement and is very impetuous.
Elena on the other hand is this nice, romantic teen and it just wouldn’t fit the character if she was as fierce as Katherine at kissing Stefan.
The same goes with the boys. Damon is supposed to be very much like Kat while Stefan is more like Elena. That’s why the Nina/Ian couple sparkles whereas the Nina/Paul’s is more cheesy and sweet…

I hope this isn’t true. I don’t like it when co-stars date. Especially if it involves a love triangle.

I totally agree with you. and it could affect the show if something goes wrong between them.

One tree hill worked quite well after Chad Michael Murray and Sophia Bush divorced! It all depends on whether the two are able to be mature enough to not destroy everything around while breaking up!

Ian has a GF, but Ian and Nina do have an attraction to each other, you can totally see it..in all their interviews! It’s pretty clear.

I wish people would stop with the “Nina and Ian” thing going on! Ian has a girlfriend already, like Hayley said! But a ‘body language expert’? LOL Honestly, that is hilarious.

This is a load of BS if you ask me.
Ian already HAS a long-term girlfriend, he always talks about her.
LOL a “body language expert”? I agree with Annie!! This is hilarious.
You guys should check your articles before you post, there are some spelling errors. ;)

The reason why people are laughing because everyone with a brain knows Ian has a long time gf who he is in love with. I hope these dumb rumors don’t ruin such a great friendship.

And u need a body language expert to tell u these 2 ppl are crazy about each other ?? Why, any idiot can see that. Maybe Ian is trying to be a bit more discreet about it bks there is still the gf around, ha ha. There are lots and lots of pics and videos around though where both of them are showing the love.
