ARE THESE JUST JAILHOUSE PROMISES ??? HELP

Hi everyone, so I’m in a situation currently where I met a guy on the internet. Just being curious on a inmate web site, don’t judge me lol. But I met a guy off of there and he seems pretty cool. He has three more years of a 11 year sentence. He was hanging with the wrong crowd and got caught up in a situation. He has no kids, he gained a associate degree while in and now he is one class away from getting his bachelors degree . He speaks very intelligently, and he often speaks about his plans when he gets out about his plans to establish his self, settle down , get married and have kids. He practically spent all of his 20’s there he went in at 18 and will now be getting out at 29. He doesn’t want any money or anything, he says he just to develop a bond with me, a friendship that’s can possibly turn into more. He seems to be keeping his self busy and out of trouble since he has been in. He is apart of the basketball team etc. soooo my question is should I give it a chance or should I just leave him where he is. I’ve heard a lot about jail house promises.
