Following up on what Wants2fly just said, in my dating since divorce (11 years), I have never once met a man who was comfortable dating knowing I was looking for a husband. I did have men start talking about marriage rather early on (and I was being cautious and careful, I thought!), only to discover after extended time with them that they were not how they portrayed themselves to be.
I never stated I was "marriage minded" or looking for a husband, though I was open to it with the right person. My impression, though, from my experience, is that most men shy away from a woman who states up front that she is interested in marriage, though I could be wrong. There could be someone out there who feels just as you do and wants a lifelong partner. I just never met one who was honest and worthy.
I think a light-hearted approach of making friends and meeting lots of people till you "click" with someone is the best route.
