Find the husband first
I think you're at about the right age. Have a long talk with BF to see how he feels about having kids. Not necessarily with you, right now, but with the right woman in the next 5 years. If he can't picture that, find someone better.
Use a dating service or make it clear on early dates that you're looking for a serious relationship with might lead to marriage and kids, not just fun.
Give it time. A good friend of mine took about 3 years to ditch kid-phobic BF, date, get married and try for a baby.
