Yes keep very busy and yes use various distractions.

Also it's ok to discuss it with person you start dating.

When I've met my now fiancée we discussed that we tend to jump in to things as we are both emotional people and crave affection so we discussed that we will not have sex until we have serious feelings for each other and until we become close friends. So we dated for 3 months before we spent a night together. By dated I meant actually dated as went places and did things together not just talked. That's the longest I dated without getting intimate. It was a smart move

It's ok to discuss it shortly after you start dating ( I don't think you should tell him you are horny but it's ok to tell him you don't want to jump into it fast).
