A long distance "friendship"... what's with this relationship?

Question

Found a friend at Y!M 7 years ago. We've been strangely "close" online and we have had periods of hours spending time chatting and laughing through the years. You could say that he's my best online friend???
But a few years back he got into a mood to propose (in his weird funny, kindda joking way). And being a fresh graduate from college with a career oriented drive, I (in my confused mind) said no. 
I have fallen for the guy somewhere in year 2, 3, and 4. And I love the guy enough to see him the happiest with someone else.

We're still friends and we still have "the bond" in our friendship. We still do the same stuff when we find ourselves online.
But where is this going?
I have never committed myself to any relationship because I am just happy being single.
But he's never committed himself to any as well.
What's with this relationship? Any ideas on where this is going? and do I need to do something about it?


Thanks for taking time to read my blabber. >__<

Well i would say be best friends and don,t get in online relationship... coz long distance online relationships are very suffering... U might end up hurting urself a lot and ruining a great freindship u share... but if u guys can meet and spend time together in real in say coming month or date say once a month something... then i would say it won,t be that painful... and u can say a yes to him... but i have been hurt in online relationship so better to meet and then commit

Just my two cents but it seems like you two are just meant to be friends.  You're not really looking for a relationship right now, and it is hard to build a relationship through long-distance, yet alone online.  So for right now it looks like friends, and if you are ready to look for that long term relationship then one of you would either move or attempt to become closer to the other person, rather than just online pals.
