When you want a relationship but you are 'just friends'

Friends with benefits

The definition of friends with benefits is when two friends decide to have sex with each other when neither is in a serious relationship. I have no problem with that I've done it myself. But what do you do when you want more with that person? I mean you already have the emotional attachment of being friends and when you add a physical attachment to that the longer you go on with it the more chance there is that someone will want more. It's not the ideal situation to be in. You want more but he is happy with the way it is. Most guys are [no offense to the men] but come what guy wouldn't be happy with that. You get to sleep with your friend and still have the option of choosing another girl. It's so easy for most guys to just jump from one to the other and expect the friend to welcome them back when they are done with the current girlfriend. But how do you tell a guy that you want to be the one they call girlfriend, the one they call baby? Is it even possible to go from friends with benefits to a serious committed relationship? Or do you risk losing the friendship if things don't work out? I hope someone can find the answers to these questions because I have no idea what they are.
