When you go from just friends to friends with benefits, to friends and lovers, then gf and bf without asking any questions, this means your relationship has naturally evolved.
there may be many answers to this question but i can only provide a more modern term that comes to mind and that is; Friends with Benefits Where these 'benefits' are sexual benefits but both 'parties' agree it is not for love etc.
That is the cycle of relationships:lets take it in the starting to end manner:FriendsClose friendsFriends with benefits (You stay together,romance and all)LoverMarry
If your lover isn't your best friend then you are doing something wrong.
Friends are not always lovers, and estranged friends are not always estranged lovers.
Your relationship is progressing normally. You are probably in love. Congratulations and enjoy!
Ask the person directly if they want to be in a relationship with you. If they say no, then you are just fwb. If they say they already are, then you know your answer. Or just ask them this question yourself and then ask them what they want to be.
It should be fairy obvious that he wants more than a casual relationship. You opened the door, now you have to decide if you are going through it. Understand that sex always changes any relationship. Good or bad you can't predict, but it will change it.
How they introduce them. Friend: "This is my friend, so and so" Lover: "This is my, um, friend, so and so"

Friends Can Be Lovers was created in 1992.
A friend can be a lover and a lover can be 'just' friends! Sexual intercourse is involved with a lover, mental and emotional intercourse are more the realm of a friend. Hence, the categories need not be mutually exclusive!
Well, it's pretty simple the lovers always have friends so let's say the boyfriend is getting help in his relationship from his girlfriend's friend.. So the boyfriend ends up falling for his girlfriend's friend which leads to a lot of tension between the girlfriend and her friend even though the friend didn't do anything and was innocent.. Hope that helped you.
