Hayden Panettiere has revealed that she has trouble managing relationships.

The I Love You, Beth Cooper star has admitted that she doesn't know how to date.

Panettiere told Seventeen magazine: "I'm not good at learning that sometimes you don't like someone in that way - and figuring out how to deal with that. I don't want to hurt his feelings.

"Right now, I'm just enjoying having fun. It's when you're not looking for anything that something winds up coming along, whether it's a best friend or a guy."

The 19-year-old actress, who split from her Heroes co-star Milo Ventimiglia, has recently denied dating 32-year-old T4 presenter Steve Jones.
