Moroccan Man from NYC / NJ

Jasmine, this might be a long shot as I'm sure there are many Moroccans living in New York, but did he tell you his name? Where he lives? Any details you can provide would be helpful, as I met a man online who is Moroccan as well. i met him on the site OkCupid, pretty much around the same time you wrote your message. We first started speaking around January 16th. He originally claimed his profession was a graphic designer while he had lived in France, prior to coming here. He claims he 'won a green card' after graduating college. I wasn't quite sure what that meant & he was rather vague (as he's been with so many other aspects of his life) but I assume he means he won a Diversity Visa from the Lottery. I'd provide lots more details about him but am worried they will show up in google search. So I will respond to subsequent messages and/or make new posts with more details later on. I'm going to assume he googles his name and/or the identity he may have constructed for himself, so I'm trying to be on the safe side.

Oh, and here's something important- he got so romantic RIGHT away. He claimed to be in love with me when we hadn't even met- we exchanged lots of emails, then we spoke on the phone for hours- it's like he wouldn't let me go to sleep; he refused to hang up the phone. He said he wanted to keep hearing my voice & that he was in love with it. He even mentioned marriage (I must say, I was initially floored). Did your man by any chance behave in this manner?
