If he dodges, its because hes not really interested in you outside of benefits, and its time to end it.
If he seems interested, see where it goes.
Theres really no better idea than the direct approach.
Though, usually if a guy is actually interested in dating, or specifically dating you, he would be, rather than being friends with benefits. Its far more common for a guy to be a friend-without-benefits and like you and want to be more, than for a guy to be friends with benefits, like you and want the same.
