Kelly Rowland is a control freak

The former Destiny’s Child singer Kelly Rowland admits she likes to plan every detail of her life but was pleased recently when her date insisted he make all her decisions.

She explained: “When I’m on a date, I’m very in charge. It’s like, ‘Hello my name is Kelly and I’m a bit of a control freak!’ Even when I go to dinner with my friends, I say, ‘OK, we’ll all order this and this and this, and I want this day to run like this’

“I’d gotten away with it on some dates until recently when this guy actually made me be the woman, and I thought that was really cool.

“He said, ‘Let me be the man; I know you know what’s great on the menu, and I know you know exactly where you like to go, but I like to be spontaneous, so tonight you’ll be the lady and I’ll be the man.’ And I was like, well alright! I liked the way he put me in my place. He’ll be getting a call back.”

Although Kelly admits to having been unlucky-in-love in the past, she always tries to learn lessons from her heartbreak following advice from her former bandmate Beyonce Knowles.

She added: “Heartbreak moulds and makes you stronger. It makes you aware of what you want and don’t want in love. I actually got that from Beyonce.

“I remember I called her crying about some guy and Michelle Williams was rubbing my back while I was talking about it and Bee said, ‘Well at least you know what you want and don’t want!’

“And I thought that was the funniest thing because I’d never thought about it like that. I stopped crying and was like, ‘Oh yeah!’ So I wrote down my list of what I wanted and didn’t want and my list is good now.”
