Blocking people on Facebook (I hate doing this, but...)

Tweet

Everyone should know that I hate blocking people on Facebook, and I only do it if I feel threatened or if someone is harassing me in some way. Well, I got one of those people just a few days ago and he could not take "NO" for an answer. He sends me a message with the highlighted topic "Looking for Romance", and I am thinking, "is this spam", it did not look like spam. Also, I have on my page "In A Relationship", it is there for all the world to see. This man was relentless. I told him that I had a boyfriend. I told him that I would not add him to my "Friends List" because he is not a friend and we have never met in person (for Facebook and MySpace, people only get added to my list if I have met them in person and if we have real conversations with each other in person). I told him that I would not get Yahoo Messenger because I do not like Instant Messenger(it's not something I like to do because I don't really see the point). When he was telling me about himself, he did not seem real. He seemed so fake. I say this because of the things he was telling me. I then looked at his Friends List, and that really made me question what this man wanted. I was scared now. For a man who was allegedly "well traveled", his "Friends List" did not show it. His page in general made me really question who he was because nothing he was telling me seemed real. It just seemed strange. He told me that he owned a fabric company in West Africa, he was "well traveled", he lost his father and inherited a fortune from him, it was just weird. He contacted me completely out of the blue. I have never met and/or seen this man before, and he was telling me all of this, and it just didn't seem right. For the record, I am from California, I am pretty "well traveled" as well, and I have friends of all races and backgrounds. Of course, all of my friends are people that I have known from all of my years in school, college, family, people from work, and people I have met at Comic Conventions. Seriously, in regards to Facebook and MySpace, I have to meet you in person, and talk to you in person, before I add you. This is because people from my personal life are on these social networking site. The only reason I do not do this with My Lot is because no one I know from my personal life is on here, at least, not that I know of. Also, I do not really have any major personal information on this site like I do on Facebook and MySpace. I blocked him because there was no way I was putting up with this any longer. This man, in my estimation, was not being honest. I cannot trust people like this. I believed that this man could possibly have been attempting to scam me or something. Some person from Nigeria tried this with me before, he wanted money from me, and I had to block him, then I had to get a new e-mail address, and get a new MySpace page. It was Hell. I never want to go through that ever again. Has this happened to anyone on Facebook or MySpace? Have you been harassed or threatened to the point that you had to block the person or report them? How bad was the situation?
