I politely suggest the very opposite if you are going to keep a roo. Do NOT make him a pet or feed him out of your hand, I suggest taking a very hands off approach starting immediately if you plan on keeping him or finding a home for him that doesn't mean an immediate stew pot.
EVERY SINGLE "pet" rooster that I've ever taken in has attacked me at some point in time. One 1 of my own non-pet roos have ever attacked me. I keep at least 8 roosters at any given time and I need them all to generally get along and I don't want to have to watch my back every time I'm out in the coops. I will not tolerate a mean rooster, there are plenty of good ones out there so there's no point in putting up with the bad ones IMO.
Good luck with your future guy.
