The former Destiny's Child singer 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."
