Automatically or ever.
That's why communication is important. If people are just having fun together, just have fun together with a clear understanding that it may not lead to something longterm or marriage. It is when people are doing one thing but saying another that there becomes a problem. And many people do one thing and say another or they are hoping the person/situation will change to become what they want.
Personally, I don't do longterm, committed relationships just for "fun." Sure, we have fun together but if he's not "the one" then I have better things to do with my time and emotion. I find happiness, fun, and enjoyment in "the one" with the understanding that future-oriented relationships aren't all fun and games.
