Search Results: giving out my number

Sorry this is long. Basically he messaged me on Okcupid, says that I’m really beautiful, we’re in each other’s age range (I’m 36, he’s 41 and says he wants a girl my age) and supposedly I have everything he was looking for in a woman. The problem was I really wasn’t feeling any interest for him after reading his profile, and he lived to far away from me (I’m on Long Island, he’s in NYC and kinda want someone who is also on the island that I don’t have to commute to date). I sent him a polite message (that’s very sweet of you but I don’t think we’d be a good match). He sends me two long paragraphs in return saying he doesn’t understand, that I should give him a chance, that I might change my mind once I get to know him, that I’m already 36 and not going to get many more chances then begs me to reconsider because he wants to leave the city and saw getting involved with someone like me as the perfect escape from New York, that he wanted us to pick out our future hometown together and said that he was really shocked because I sounded so nice in my profile. I apologized again, told him not to send me anymore messages and blocked him. So tonight (about three weeks later), I get another message from him (from another account he created) telling me he still really wants to get to know me, he still wants me to get to know him then gives me his phone number and begs me to call him because we’re both on that site looking for partners and he could be the “perfect partner for me but I don’t know it because I’m not giving him a chance”. I told him to stop messaging me and leave me alone. I was with two friends when I got this message. One told me that I did the right thing because he sounded really desperate and the other friend told me that I’m not getting any younger (which I’m not) and he sounds really interested. She says I should overlook the differences and the distance and date him, so now I’m feeling really bad. What do you all think?

I mean the right to have freedom and democracy. Where I live and in other countries you can only go out if you write on a paper why you left the house, where you live and so on. The reason must match a number of reasons the goverment considered to be justified. If you don't have the paper or have a tiny mistakes on it you are fined for more than the average salary (not the minimum...). Lots policemen make abuses and give fines for the smallest thing. You can't even go out at a local shop without risking a fine. Also, they closed the dentists' offices, women couldn't find a place to get an abortion anymore. They also want to force us to wear masks in public transportation (and other public places) where we don't have air conditioning for the whole summer... Of course, nobody asked us anything, though we are supposed to live under democracy...

I am not complaining they closed the unnecessary bussiness, but it feels like we are in home arrest. We have about 14k total confirmed cases and 850 deaths (most had serious illnesses...). The economy downfall and the isolation has affected way more people. We also have more cases of measles, but nobody talks about it. And you may say that less people die of measles, but mostly children are affected and they usually don't have other affections, so of course the mortality is lower. And the sad part is that they are probably going to do the same in autumn...
