This is the continuation of a two-part series.  Part one of my friend P.I.’s story was called P. I. And The Missing Jewelry.  The previous story dealt with how tormented he felt about a decision he had made concerning a woman he had met at a musical.  This is another one of his dating stories I’d like to share with you.

A few months back my buddy, who lives on one of the Pacific Islands, contacted me and sought my advice about women.  We'll call him P.I.  He is Asian and in his late thirties.  

As we spoke over the phone, he told me about an incident that happened the day before. I asked if I could interview him, and this is the first dating story.

Since Valentine’s Day was yesterday, some of you without a sweetheart may have felt down about being single.   

Or even if you do have a boyfriend or girlfriend or spouse, yesterday may not have been what you expected. 

Believe me, I know how it feels.  Many years ago a guy I dated -- not a boyfriend -- told me two or three days after Valentine's Day that he didn't want to see me anymore.
