First timer.

Ok, I met this guy on the internet(Xbox to be exact, silly I know) we have been best friends for nearly 6 years, flirting for 5 and talking in ways a couple would for 3 ish years. I have finally grown the balls to fly to him and meet him because we both feel if we were closer we would want a relationship together, I love him he loves me blah blah. So we're meeting. We have discussed having sex seeing as we've talked about it for years. We decided we would if it feels right and won't if it's to soon. My question is if it does feel right which in thinking it will, what should I do about birth control? Would a condom be sufficient? I'll be back home and away from him after a week so I feel like pills it's a little much. I'm not sure!
