(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Blake Lively admits she's "slow at making friends".

The 24-year-old actress knows the perils of fame, and is wary of social traps. Blake has revealed she isn't very trusting when it comes to meeting new people.

"I surround myself with people I trust and I always go with my gut. If I'm not sure about something, I always say no. I'm slow at making friends," she admitted in an interview with British magazine more!

"I'm not the type of person who meets someone and exchanges phone numbers straightway. It takes me time to feel comfortable with someone."

Blake is a big fan of domestic tasks, and is happiest in the kitchen. The stunning star has revealed her signature dish.

"I do a little of everything, but Italian food is my favourite," she smiled.

"And chocolate! Whenever I travel I go to cookery schools. I eat too much, that's the problem." (C) Cover Media
