Love After Bedtime
Dating, Privacy, and Places to Be Together for Single Parents
by David Bryan Smith
You’re a parent and a person. Love After Bedtime is the practical, non-explicit guide to dating as a single mom or dad: when you’re ready, how to tell a date you have kids, when to introduce a partner, where two adults can find privacy, and how to protect your children while still having a life.
About the book
It’s 9:40 on a Tuesday. The kids are asleep, the lunches are made, and you have forty minutes before you fall asleep on the couch. Who has time to date? And if you did, where would you go, and what would you tell the kids?
Love After Bedtime, Volume Five of The Romance Codex, answers the questions most dating advice skips. Part One covers readiness, telling dates you have children, handling the co-parent, and when, and whether, to introduce someone to your kids, with a staged plan built on research about children and family change. Part Two is the logistics: finding the hours, finding private places to be together (legal, private, and never where children could walk in), and handling sleepovers and mornings after. Part Three covers dating another single parent, blending families without bulldozing anyone, and the safety rules every single parent should know, explained carefully and without scare tactics.
Fair to mothers and fathers, built on published research, with a section for each and an exercise in every chapter.
