    It's a bad idea to let others convince you to discriminate against those women with children. What are single mothers supposed to do in your opinion? Never find anyone to love ever again?

    The bottom line of whether you should pursue a relationship with this girl is whether or not you like/love her. I know several people who married single parents, had more children, and now are living happy lives.

    The advice your parents gave you was terrible.

    So the original question was resolved, I think. Ghosting is immature, we get that. The single mom issue is a little more vague, I don't think I want to leap directly into that. Furthermore, I'd be remiss if I didn't say once again, if you have less than 90 consistent days I don't think you have business dating anybody. You have to get that distance from porn to get sane, and you have to prove to yourself and others that you can sustain a decent period of time without succumbing to PMO. I just don't think you're man enough to date, otherwise.

    But then this
    Maybe this is stirring up old drama but I want this out there, resolving misconceptions so people can be a little less wrong in the future. I don't think most people have any idea what @Roady's hero, Jesus Christ, would post but I do.I've studied that guy, I know what's up. The "Don't judge others" quote from the Sermon on the Mount gets pulled out of context and abused a lot. Jesus didn't say "Don't judge others." He said, "Don't judge others until you know you're ready to be judged by the same standard." That's a paraphrase, but I believe accurate enough for these purposes. Jesus encourages humility, but He doesn't tell us to stop using our brains and He definitely doesn't encourage us to give evil a pass just because judging people is mean.
    As for condescension and arrogance, Jesus was a pain in the ass to a lot of people, mostly because He wouldn't stop running around claiming to be the Son of Man, which in a strange reversal meant the direct Son of God. He told off rich people, he told some people they were going to Hell, He was occasionally violent, and He was always, always controversial. Before you fact check me, technically His name is Yeshua and yes He absolutely did claim many, many times to be the direct Son of God but a lot of them are contextualized in 1st century Jewish culture so it's easy for 21st century Westernized people to miss, and no He did not say "ur goin 2 Hell" He said "ur goin 2 GeHenna" which was 1st century Aramaic for what we now call Hell. The consistent thing was, he showed a lot of compassion for people who were ready to admit they made mistakes and do the best they could moving forward, but not a lot of patience for people who thought they had it all figured out and now spent their time getting in other people's business. Mostly because those people were wrong.

    Jesus had compassion for single moms. He wouldn't give you a blanket answer about whether they were good to date or not. It all depends on the person. He knows, though, that single moms are bearing the consequences of a previous choice, one they probably don't fully regret because they love their kid(s), but I'll bet they at least know some mistakes were made. Maybe they were too impulsive, maybe they just trusted someone too early. Or, maybe they didn't learn a thing, in which case they are foolish and I'd bet Jesus would advise you to stay out of that soul-corrupting insanity. Jesus didn't demonstrate much patience for prideful men, though. I don't think that is from a lack of love, it's just you can't help a prideful person. It was more of a "come see me when you're ready to not be a jerk" situation.

    So that's my review of the Bible. The Gospels, to be exact, the first four in the New Testament that talk about the life of Jesus.
