POF : I am slightly concerned for my safety.
I was talking to a guy briefly back in December. We talked very briefly before he threw up a host of red flags. For example, I was working and didn’t respond to his text, so he went off on me about how I shouldn’t have responded if I wasn’t interested, how I wasn’t being considerate, etc. He then apologized for being « harsh ». A little bit later, he chastised me because POF said I was online and I wasn’t. (we all know how POF will say online even if the app isn’t even open) He said « I hope you find what you’re looking for on that silly app, why would you need to be on there if we’re talking? I constantly see you on there ». I ended up blocking him on everything and I thought that would do the trick.
Fast forward to the end of February, he tried contacting me from different numbers (which I blocked), then he made **two new accounts** on POF. I recognized the username because he only added new numbers to it, then he made another one which included his name. I’m a bit weirded out now, because this behavior is extremely alarming. I’m not in the city on my profile anymore, never met him in person at all, but I’m still a little paranoid.
I hid my profile for now but is it better I deactivate? I don’t really want to deactivate completely just kinda go off the grid for a while, but what should be done here? Any advice?

It sounds like he has no way of knowing where you live. He never threatened you he’s just doing average prickish things.
Block him and focus on the positive people. Don’t let one shithead make you quit or you’d be quitting every day.
Unless you have NO DRAMA on your profile. Which I’ve come to learn means you love drama. So then you should date him.
I disagree with that other comment OP. Your instincts exist to keep you safe and this is a good example. A dude that has a short temper, is controlling, and refuses to take the hint is probably not safe to be around and he seems to INSIST on not leaving you alone. This is how every stalker movie starts. I’d deactivate AND change my number if I were you. Please be safe and good luck
