Confused.

Hi everyone. I met a man in prison as a pen pal. After a while he started saying he was having feelings for me and I know I am having them for him. The problem is that I have never had a relationship with an inmate before and I assumed alot of things before starting this relationship. I thought I could be friends with him without developing "real deep emotional feelings" for him becuase i didn't know what he looked like so there was no physical or sexual attraction to hinder real affection. But just like that; something in his letters hit my heart like a brick. But, never being in this type of situation before I thought things would be different if something emotional started happening between us. I get one letter every 7-15 days or so from him and the wait between them kills me. I thought since I could write him everyday while having freedom, kids and a home to run that surely if things started progressing from casual friendship I would get letters from him a few times a week. But even though his letters seem to suggest romantic feelings, I don't know if I should take that as fact or not.
Anyone have any suggestions on this type of thing? DO you remember what it was like when you first started writing your man and then the relationship started progressing?

Thanks, Cindy
