It sounds like you're still in the very early days of your relationship, so maybe wait a while before you tell him your thoughts on this. I think people's feelings should be respected regardless. If he really cares and he's in it for the long-haul then he won't mind waiting until you're ready/happy to have sex.
Although no form of contraception is fool proof you can reduce the risks by using two forms of contraception, for example the pill and condoms. Maybe you could discuss this with your doctor, so when the time comes you are prepared? I see you're from the UK also. Many towns/cities have sexual health clinics, maybe you could look online for information on your local one, and they can advise you on the best form of contraception for you.
I wish you the best of luck,
Paige

Yeah, we'd been good friends for a little over a year before all this started haha, so I know for a fact that he definitely cares about me as a person.
Yes, don't worry, we haven't been going out for all that long so I definitely won't mention this properly until there's a definite chance of things starting to go in that direction.
I think the ideal combination for me would be a condom and the pill, but I would probably have quite a difficult time getting hold of the pill thanks to my parents' attitudes towards teenagers having sex (they reeeaaally don't want me to do it, and they know that I won't have sex unless I'm on the pill, so they would refuse it), but thank you for all your advice
