A guy I've known for a month cries over the phone if I don't answer his message?

Anonymous

I've been talking to a guy every day for a month, but I told him that we should stop talking because I don't see this going anywhere (different beliefs, cultural differences and distance), although I like him.

When I said this, he lasted two days without contact and when I was out and didn't answer, I got home to multiple missed calls. He called me and had a mental breakdown over the phone crying, telling me to not leave, and that he wants to spend his life with me.

I was a bit shocked and managed to figure out a short term solution, and I persuaded him to give me a month break (I thought that will do for him to calm down, and then it'll be easier), and so he only texted me a good night message. However, I didn't reply and he started calling again going crazy, saying 'I was worried about you, can you at least leave me on read'. Wtf?

He said he doesn't know why he is scared for me, but can't control it.

I personally think it might be early stages of controlling behaviour, but I don't know.

Could someone give advice please?
