Well I think I would buy him a ring and see what happens. I dont know about you but I think I would wait for him to ask you. i mean you never knoe. If he loves you and wants to take the next step then he is not gonna wait because its a leap year, he will just go ahead and do the manly thing.

Leap Year..Feb,it's only a couple of months away, so you'll need to organise things pretty quickly !!.
Have you got somewhere special in mind..and someone that can help you organise ?
What about an area of secluded woodland, where you could 'dress' the trees, with streamers and 'paper flowers', ask friends if they'd help you.. then go for a walk, and take him there..a running stream, or river would be lovely, or what about proposing later in the afternoon, (in the same location)when the light's just going.. you can use lanterns and t-lights, that would be different.
If you have a dog..(and as a suggestion, you could hide the 'rings' (2 small gold/silver bands, but not 2 expensive) in a 'pouch' attached to the dogs collar !.). this would give you a reason for the 'walk'.. but I'm not suggesting you 'hire' a pooch for the occasion !
Other than this..use a friends house, as a place that you can propose.. ask the friend to help you, decorate it romantically, add music, and lead him into a seperate room. Once the proposal has been completed, you can always invite your friends back to your place, for drinks, as a way of thanking them for their help.
As for asking him to 'marry you' has he suggested this would be the sort of commitment he would make, because it would be upsetting for you, if he really doesn't want to wed, so be completely sure, before you decide to go ahead.
Hope all goes well...and your proposal is a success !
but don't marry on the 29th.. you only get to celebrate your Anniversary every 4 years !!!
best of luck

Don't do it!!!!
He'll ask you when and if he intends to. Let him be the man in the relationship...
Edit: I had never heard of this until tonight, but was doing som research when I came upon this:
LEAP YEAR PROPOSALS
The right of every woman to propose on the 29th of February each leap year goes back many hundreds of years to when the leap year day had no recognition in English law (the day was ‘lept over’ and ignored, hence the term ‘leap year’). It was considered, therefore, that as the day had no legal status, it was reasonable to assume that traditions also had no status. Consequently, women who were concerned about never marrying, took advantage of this anomaly and proposed to the man they wished to marry. It was also thought that since the leap year day corrected the discrepancy between the calendar of 365 days and the time it takes for the earth to complete one orbit of the sun (365 days and 6 hours), it was an opportunity for women to correct a tradition that was one-sided and unjust.

There is Temptation out there EVERY DAY. We just have to make the best of life and believe that we are doing the right thing. Nobody is perfect. Flirting is fun and being accepted is a neccessity for most of us. Unfortunately, too many people get married, have kids and fall into a bad trap and forget that its important to continue seducing one another. Its a shame, and when a spouse is not feeling wanted/desired and being taken care of, he/she will find it elsewhere

I never heard of the leap year rule. Even so, I think it is up to the man to propose to the woman. If you are nearing this stage in your relationship and have good communication with your partner, you probably have already informally discussed your future plans. Let the man be the one to formally propose as tradition mandates. It will set the tone for your marriage. I would not want to spend my life with a man that did not have the nerve or the courage to ask for my hand in marriage. I want a strong man, a decisive man, one that I do not have to treat like a child.

I think it is the man's place to propose. Guess I am just old
fashioned about such things. Maybe too a woman should not rush and be more patient. If love is true between the man &
woman it will be more likely to last.

I like the idea of being asked myself not me asking him. Although if you really want to do it. Then go all the way. Make a reservation at a fancy resaurant, buy a nice ring...
At the restaurant put the ring inside his champagne glass when he isn't looking and when he drinks it all he'll see the ring at the bottom and you can get on your knee and say "will you marry me?"
Just make sure he doesn't swallow the ring, lol.
Good luck!
