at the very real risk of sounding like my grandmother, is there any reason you can't pursue a friendship with this person who shares interests, etc?
at the risk of sounding like me: you could just tell him now isn't the time for romance in your life and let him decide if friendship is worth pursuing or not.
IOW: if you enjoy his company, don't sacrifice friendship on the altar of romance.
and now I'm crawling back under my rock with Mishna Bikkurim (First Fruits).
