um I think if you get to the point with any woman where you're both wanting to have sex and thinking of breaking out the condoms, then you're both adults and were both considering it long before you got to it. So having a condom just means you were both thinking the same thing and that you are an intelligent and well-prepared man.
Carry a condom, she will appreciate your concern with safety and birth control far more than she will entertain the thought that you might have thought she'd be an easy lay. By the way, who would really think that unless they were sleeping with someone they only just met? And also, consenting adults make their own choices.

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
