Meeting Long Distance Relationship Boyfriend for the Second Time: How to ensure things will be different this time?

Three years ago, I met my long distance partner in a language exchange app. After communicating regularly using the app, we decided to exchange phone numbers. Long story short, we couldn't stop talking to each other via texts, phone calls, and video chats. Chemistry was inevitable and we decided that we wanted to meet. When we met, we were both college students. He found a work abroad program from his country that allowed him to travel and work in the states for the summer so we could me. (I told him he had to come to me first). I decided to me him, face to face, in the state he was working in. He was living with a bunch of others that worked abroad so I booked a hotel and we met initially at my hotel. We spent a few hours together and eventually did the deed. Honestly, it was one of the worst decisions as emotions were high and everything just moved too fast, resulting in damaged egos. We never saw each other again physically after that. He continued working and I enjoyed the new city solo. Over the last two years, we have talked on and off via messages, phone calls, and texts... it has been a difficult journey as it has been both beautiful and chaotic, silent even sometimes. However, we can't stay seem to disconnect with each other. Over the last two years, we have both changed immensely and have sensed matured. We agreed that we should meet each other again, face to face with hopes of doing things the right way this time. He is due to arrive in my city in just a few short weeks and he will be staying for 6 days and five nights. I'm extremely nervous because I love him more than words can express, but I don't want things to end up like last time. What are some tips or advice that you all can provide for me my LDR boyfriend for the second time?
