<human>: Give me a shortened version of the text

About six months ago, I finally worked up the courage to ask out a cashier at a grocery store near my place. It took me a few months to build up to it, but lo, I did. 

To my surprise, she seemed enthusiastic and gave me her number. We talked a bit on the phone and ended up meeting up for the first time during her lunch break on evening. It was only about 15 minutes, but we talked and got to know one another a bit. Towards the end, she drops the bomb that she has a 6 month old baby. I was taken aback but brushed it off in the moment. She had to go back to work, we hugged, and we went our separate ways. Six months is young. I noped the hell out of that and never contacted her again. I stopped going to the store for a while because it felt like it would be awkward. Now, six months later, I go there from time to time and see her every so often. She finally asked me what was up with not contacting her, and I just kind of bullshat my way through it. Super awkward. 

How should I address this going forward? To be honest, if the kid was older, I'd probably have still gone out with her, but a baby... that's heavy.
<bot>: I went out with a cool chick, found out she had an infant child, and never called her back. Now I see her around and don't know what to say.
