Should I Pop D Question?

I got me a boyfie and we been dating for like 4 years, kind of on n off. We werent togeda 4 like a yr, ostensibly because he was abroad. Anywaz, we stared dating again when he got back and he told me he wanted to marry me, doe at the time, i thot it was just a ploy so that i'd start dating him again. I really don't regret making that decision, at least, not yet, because i love him so very much and everythin's been near perfect. we've talked about marriage but only in passing and he makes some comments which makes me think he is indeed inclined in that direction. He also did ask me when I wanted to get married and I said next year and when I asked him too, he also said next ear. Anywaz, now I feel like we should moving things ahead and making a firm commitment but lately, we havent said anything like that and I'm not sure if I should broach the topic and if I'd appear to be pushy or forward.

What do u fellas think? should I just ask him or would it turn him off? Cus I know guys could be touchy about things like that!Your comments would be greatly appreciated.
