I'm torn on what to do about this guy!!!!

There's this guy I really like we've been talking for about two months now. He works a full time job and is in grad school pursuing his master's degree. Problem is he obviously has a very busy schedule and on top of that we live an hour away from each other. We've only gotten to see each other once but communicate quite a bit. Before my feelings got involved I asked him if he and I were to get serious would he have time for me and a relationship he said unfortunately no. I'll admit I pretty much knew what the answer would be but I just had to hear it. I'm very torn because the city is very small and full of no good men. I really like this guy and I'm battling my head would it be worth it to stay in contact and be patient with him. I know it sounds crazy but I really like this man. What do you think?
