Friends before dating?

I really like this guy who is very school oriented and I overheard that he didn't want a girlfriend because he was scared he wouldn't have time for her with all of his studies. The thing is I really like him, but I figure maybe if I become a closer friend with him maybe he'll take a chance. I don't mind the independence that he probably needs with school because I have my own life as well and I can wait. But it would be nice to have something there! How do you become friends with a guy you are romantically interested in without scaring him off?
Help!

You should always take a man at his word when he tells you what he does and doesn't want.
