Search Results: taking it to the next level

Quick background, I have been in an on again off again hook up with a guy for 5 years. We first started hooking up while he was on a break with a girlfriend. When they got back together he would still come over for hours, but wouldn't sleep with me. At one point she got pregnant and he invited me over to vent about how she was behaving. Still no sex. The baby was born premature. He came around and I really got to see his emotional side. I left him alone at this point cause it was just too much. Later he finds out the kid isn't his. He comes around again. And our hook ups continue. I told him my feelings I had for him. ( I am good about separating feelings from sex, but the fact that he came to me when he was down and all the conversations we had I can't help it!) He is now going back to school and taking care of himself. I asked him one day what he wanted in a woman and everything he said described me! I told him this and he told me " don't mess up what we have". What does this mean? I have been trying to cool it with him and let him build himself up. I have a lot going for myself so I figured maybe he wanted to be on the same level. Recently I made him realize how long we have been seeing each other. He invited me to his new place. He tells me he is on his "grown man shit" and shows me around. Then we had some crazy next level rough sex. Something we have never done before. Then he goes cold. I haven't lived in the same city in 2 years yet we still connect. I can't tell if I'm just a safety net, or if he has feelings and just needs time to get himself straight or what. I'm trying to play it cool but I definitely don't wanna end up looking like boo boo the fool pining over him! I'd love your honest thoughts and opinions.

The guy I've been seeing for the past 3 months treats me like he would a girlfriend. He's said he doesn't want to see anyone else. He's introduced me to his friends and family and we see each other at least 4 times a week. It's just everytime I mention a relationship or taking things to the next level he says he doesn't want a relationship. We're even going away together amd he tells me he would feel a little lost if I didn't want to know him anymore. What is his deal? And why doesn't he want to take things to the next level? Shoild I hang around and be patient? Or should I move on and forget him?

My brother is a freshman in highschool and he is taking regular science this year. He's done extremely well so far but they keep him in this on level class and won't put him in AP or honors this year but he will most likely get in next year. He wants to be a surgeon at a school like Columbia. He messed around in middle school and realized he needed to step it up to have his dream job. Does he have a shot if he makes AP or honors next year or do colleges look away if they are one bad class. Oh he is also taking 11th grade math freshman year. Thanks to all.
