If I block someone on Facebook, would they know I blocked them?

So there was some guy in India that found me through a Facebook group, and added me as a friend. He's a real nice guy and isn't some spammer, he is a real person I would assume is real. He messaged me a few nights ago just asking about what life's like in America and told me some stuff about India. The problem is that now he messages me every time I'm on Facebook, asks me to watch all these YouTube videos, wants me to help him with English, wants me to call him, and whenever I say I got to go he starts apologizing because he thinks he's offending me and that's why I got to go.

I hate to do this, but the only way to get this guy to leave me alone is to block him, because if I tell him to calm down he starts apologizing and stuff. Anyway, if I do block him, on his side, would his Facebook say I blocked him, or would it just look like my Facebook got deleted?
