Contacting him doesn't always imply that you want a relationship now. It is the first step, and you are giving him the opportunity to make a choice - ie. to make a connection now or in the future when he is ready. You will never know what he actually wants unless you give him the opportunity to choose. I'm sure you can relay to him your thoughts of "too early" and allow him to move at his pace, whether that be tomorrow or 10 years hence.
We do have the rest of our lives to make a strong, solid relationship. I suggest you make the first move and be led by his reaction.
