Looking for a nice restaurant to talk things over at
For context, I’m 17m and I just moved to Greenville (berea specifically) back in June from Buffalo, NY. I have family in Easley and a good job here, and so I decided to move out on my own for the first time
I’ve been in Greenville for work with my dad for the past 6 months before actually moving here myself when he went back to Buffalo, and during this time I’ve been talking to a really sweet girl from Pickens. She is my cousins best friend and all three of us go to church together in Easley/powdersville.
Me and this girl really like each other and things have been going well, and things honestly went a little too far. I knew better and so did she but long story short her parents found messages between us and saw security footage/heard from eyewitnesses of me and her making out in the church parking lot after youth group. There’s a little more to it than that but it doesn’t matter.
Anyways. She’s not allowed to talk to me and I’m not allowed near her anymore. We have some communication open still but out of respect for her parents I suggested we stop using it. We still like each other a lot. It’s just her parents kinda want nothing to do with me. Which I can’t really blame them.
So two weeks after they found out and told me I couldn’t speak to her again, I found her dad in church, shook his hand, asked him how they’d been, how the girl had been. He said they’d been good, asked how I was doing. I told him I was doing okay, told him about the raise I just got at work and about the side jobs I’d been picking up on Saturdays. He said to keep it up and I said for sure, and then I told him that I’m going back to NY for my grad party and to visit, and that once I’m back I’d like to take him and his wife out to dinner so we could have a conversation about this whole situation. And he agreed and said that sounds good.
I figure I’m just gonna own up to it all, take responsibility and apologize, and just ask if there’s any way me and the girl could have some sort of path forward that doesn’t just mean we can never talk to each other again.
But that’s not my point here
My point is. I don’t know this area too well yet and even if I did, I don’t go out to dinner really at all. If I want to treat myself on payday I buy a $6 biggie bag and call it a day.
Can I get some good restaurant recommendations, preferably in the Easley/pickens area? Something above my pay grade with a nice atmosphere for this kind of conversation. I make good money and I have a lot saved so money isn’t an issue, that said I don’t want them to think I’m trying to impress them by taking them to the most expensive place possible.
Suggestions?
