This is a difficult issue. You say the sex is great and he’s a good friend, I can’t think of a better set up for a long term relationship. I married my best friend and couldn’t be happier, but it sounds like he isn’t fulfilling some of your needs emotionally. Believe people when they tell you who they are. He is telling you he isn’t overly emotional and doesn’t care about marriage. I would believe him. He is not going to suddenly wake up and change.

Communication is key. 24 is also really young for a man is this day and age. He may not want to think about marriage for a while. Or maybe he will. Communicate with him, not Reddit.

This is my concern.

Yeah, that’s rough. I personally got married after three years with my wife. We moved in together after 1 year. If she changed her mind after moving in together and said she had no interest in marriage I would not have wanted to continue dating long term cause marriage is important to me. You deserve another conversation about your future wants. You should think clearly about what you want. Then, give him another chance to make his opinion on marriage known, believe him. Don’t expect him to change. That will only lead to a worse situation.
