Trying to get engaged
I have been in this relationship with my boyfriend for almost a year and I'm starting to worry that I am hoping for something that will never happen. See, my first problem is I can't get him to admit he loves me and because of that I'm starting to feel like he doesn't see me as the girl he wants to marry. I need help. What are somethings that you were able to do to help jump start that process?

Then the solution is simple. Turn him into a raging alcoholic.

Why would you even WANT to be engaged to someone who doesn't feel inclined to say he loves you unless he's trashed? Find someone who WANTS to be with you. Please don't try to marry someone who obviously does not want the same out of this relationship. One year is not very long to not have a proposal, but if he hasn't told you that he loves you (sober), yet, you should probably minimize your wasted time and move on.
DTMFA.
Somewhere out there is a guy who will think you are the bees knees and will be more than willing to tell you how much he loves you. And will *want* to spend the rest of his life with you.
This guy doesn't. You are worth more than the dribbles of his affection.
Hell, I even love you when I'm drunk and I don't know you.
You want an engagement w/out ever having had an I love you? What??
You don't have to get married just because it's been almost a year. There is no deadline on things like that.
But, like everyone else has said, do you really want to marry a man that will only "admit" to loving you when he's drunk or tired? It doesn't matter how long you've been with him.

This. Love this damn movie.
In regards to your question on how to "jump start".....why would you even post this question? Do you REALLY want to marry someone who won't even tell you he loves you unless he's drunk? Sounds like he's a real catch.
Plus, it's been A YEAR.......not sure why your jumping to engagement.
If you really want to know if he has any plans of marrying you in the future, maybe you should just ask, not "jump start" the process. What's next popping holes in the condoms?
Oh, or just do what Katie said.....THAT will give you the guarantee he will never leave.
