<human>: Ok, so I (f23) have been friends with this guy (m27) for about 7 years or so, since I was going out with one of his close friends. We've stayed very very good mates, can speak for hours and hours on end, he makes me laugh so much and I speak to him about things I couldn't imagine talking to anyone else about. He's told me that he wants more from the relationship and that he always has, I have no idea whether something can work from going from very close friends with little sexual attraction to something more long term? (We have had a few drunken fumbles but it's more the closeness I liked with him rather than the actual sexual part) Has anyone else been through a similar thing and given it a go? Did it work in the end?

Can you give me the gist of the text in a nutshell?
<bot>: Friend (m27) wants us to be together, I don't feel much sexual attraction but couldn't pick a better person to spend time with and to be with long term. Could this work? Has it worked for other people?
