A woman's conversation with a non-mahram man is not permissible except out of necessity and with adherence to Sharia guidelines. The extensive conversation that occurred between you two, and each of you expressing love and admiration for the other, is not permissible in Islam. A man should invite a man, and a woman should invite a woman; this is safer and further removed from temptation. You must repent to Allah and sever your relationship with him. It is sufficient to direct him to communicate with reliable Islamic organizations and trusted Islamic websites.
