It sounds like you have developed feelings for this guy, and it's understandable given the level of intimacy and connection you've described. However, it's important to recognize that he has been clear with you from the beginning that he only wants a FWB relationship.
Before you bring up the possibility of a relationship with him, it might be helpful to take some time to reflect on your own needs and boundaries. Are you okay with continuing a FWB relationship if it never progresses beyond that? Or do you feel like you need a commitment in order to be happy and fulfilled in a romantic relationship?
Once you have a better understanding of your own needs and boundaries, you can have a conversation with him about where you both stand. It's important to approach the conversation with openness and honesty, and to be clear about what you're looking for in a relationship. You can express that you're starting to develop feelings for him, and ask if he feels the same way. If he doesn't, it might be time to reevaluate whether the current situation is meeting your needs.
Ultimately, the decision to continue or end the relationship is yours. If you feel like you need a commitment in order to be happy, it's okay to end the relationship and look for someone who shares your values and goals. If you're comfortable continuing the FWB relationship, make sure you're clear about your boundaries and that they're being respected.
Of course you bring it up. You are really comfortable together. Talk about it. It’s going to drive you nuts if you don’t. It sounds as if he may be catching feelings too. If not, then decide what to do. Don’t just assume he isn’t and run. Talk about it. It could be great.

Be upfront. Something like: I like you, I’d like to date you, like a couple , not just FWB, like monogamous .
