<human>: I've [F/22] been consistently hooking up/sleeping with a guy [M/23] in a friends with benefits situation for about 3 months. I knew him from work, but only started to get to know him after we began hooking up. 

From the beginning he's told me that he isn't looking for a relationship which I understand, being in our last year of college. However, I went into the situation with feelings for him that have only grown stronger.

We talked once about my feelings for him and he decided it was better if we stopped hooking up. Less than a week later we were back at it, mostly because we just wanted sex. 

He moved back home (about 2 hours away from school) at the start of winter break and isn't moving back to school for another month and a half. Since winter break started in December, I've seen him once but we text pretty regularly. During break we texted briefly about a relationship, but he said he thinks long-distance is hard and that relationships create drama. (1. It would only be long-distance until he moves back to school then maybe after graduation, but I'm not looking that far ahead. 2. I'm VERY laid-back and low-maintenance, so I don't know what kind of drama he's referring to. But I didn't bring up any of this.)

My question is, how do I tell him I want something more serious without scaring him away again and when do I bring it up? The next time he's back on campus (in 2 weeks) or when he moves back to school? 

We never discussed being exclusive, but I almost feel that our relationship has progressed past the FWB stage; among other things, he's taken me out to dinner and paid multiple times. I think he has some feelings for me, but I still don't know if he wants anything serious. I don't necessarily want a relationship, just some kind of emotional stability. I've talked to my friends about it, but I want to see if anyone else has any advice.

Also, I've never been in a serious relationship before, but I'm pretty sure he has.

Can you condense the text into three sentences or less?
<bot>: Been casually dating/sleeping with a guy who doesn't want a relationship. How do I bring up that I want something more?
