Dating as a childfree woman

I (29F) went on a first date this morning for coffee that a mutual friend set up. Super nice guy, really sweet, easy conversation. I mentioned something about my dog, and he mentioned that he doesn't want a dog until he's "settled down, married, with a house and a family." I didn't ask him to elaborate because the conversation was flowing, but he wants kids, doesn't he? Childfree dating feels impossible. Just needed to vent in a safe place with people who understand.
