Regardless of whether i'ts long distance or not, sex should never be something you think you 'should' do; it should be a natural progression of the relationship.
This idea of 'dating' but only online is a nice thought for you, but it's not dating. It's talking. Not a bad thing as words connect us, allow us to share.
Most of my really close friendships started online and I have to travel in order to see these people.
The pros of ldr's: not being so close you'd get tired of each other. You have lives outside the computer (I assume), so there's much more to discuss. Another-taking your time. All that talking online and on the phone tends to allow you to delve deeper into each other's thoughts and feelings. There's no pressure to 'perform'.
Cons: missing each other. NOT sharing integral parts of each other's life.
The bottom line is how you feel about this person. Is the attraction real? How much do you know about him outside of the discussions? I mean, his lifestyle, his job, if he has one, or his plans?
No one can tell you, yes have sex or no, don't do it. That week together will answer it all.
