How to turn FWB into a commited relationship?

Question

FWB = Friend with benefits
I have been “dating” a guy for about half year beginning from a FWB relationship. 
Gradually(can’t help...) I developed emotional attachment with him and asked him if we can be exclusive (I meant, I started to worry if he’s seeing other girls at the same time)... He paused and answered: “maybe... we *could* be exclusive. To me, being exclusive means moving in and starting to live together. So for now, it’s still a bit early, and I want to take it slower.”
... I’m so confused and don’t have the courage to clarify this with him further. 
He has been married before and it has been 2 years since his divorce... and I’m much younger than him... it sounds like too much pressure to be added on his side if I keep asking him to commit. However... it ends up me feeling so insecure, because we have already been doing everything that a couple’s doing (hanging-out in the parks, holding hands, cooking, kissing, joining common friend’s party, and having sex)
What should I do with him... shall I ask him to commit? Shall I continue this gray area relationship with him?

Answer

have a conversation with him about what BOTH of you want out of this relationship. if he doesn't actually want to commit within a timeframe that you're comfortable with as well, then cut your losses.

Answer

It’s only been 6 months and he’s only been divorced 2 years it’s still early yet. 
Have a conversation with him about it , if it’s a deal breaker for you then you need to have a conversation

Answer

Be honest with yourself and him. If he isnt ready let him go. Been there done that. He wasnt ready so I moved on. Not gonna keep putting myself in the same situation knowing that feelings will only deepen. Never settle for less.

Answer

Him being in a committed relationship with you is something he’s going to want on his own.

Answer

Being exclusive doesn't mean having to live together. Maybe just have a talk with him about what exclusive means to you. 
To me, exclusive isn't living together necessarily its having a title, only being with the one person, working on furthering the emotional connection, etc

Answer

Thank you girls for your advice! I’m really appreciate your sharp views and candid suggestions. I’ll try my best to communicate with him.
