Actress Kristen Stewart has had a lot of experience with love, playing half of one of the most tumultuous on-screen relationships in the movie saga, Twilight, and being in love with her co-star, Robert Pattinson. UsMagazine.comreports that her advice on relationships was pretty simple. “Don’t be an a–hole. Don’t be mean. Don’t take s–t. Don’t settle,” she said. The star continued on to say, “Good relationship advice for me tends to being honest and knowing yourself.” Although Stewart is very into all things Twilight, she reveals her boyfriend does not have the same appreciation. “Me and Taylor [Lautner] are actual Twilight fans, so we can sit there and be so totally into it! Whereas I sit there with Rob…He likes it, but he has just such a different energy.”
