why cant i understand him?

I have been seeing the same man for 2 1/2 years. He is 22 and I am almost 20. Also, durring those 2 1/2 years we have been in a long distance relationship. he goes to school in michigan, but is from NC, like me, so we so see each other for long spells durring the summer and in december. in general the relationship is great, hes a good man and treats me like a lady should be treated. however, im ready to take the next step in our relationship but he is far from it. how do i bring up the next step without saying the "M-word" as he calls it. And also, does anyone have any communication tips for us because we need it. since we cant see eachother all the time all we have is the phone. thank you!
