Advice on visiting ex-boyfriend?

My ex and I broke up a little less than 3 weeks ago, mostly due to a month or so of high stress brought on by classes and travel. I'm not saying we never had other problems, but it is what it is.

I still have feelings for him and I've let him know. Now that things have cooled down and the stress and pressure is off, it seems like he may still have feelings for me as well. We attend the same university, but I'm from out of state and staying there now. He had tickets to come visit me before we broke up, he's still going to visit, and will arrive in less than a week. We talk on the phone for a short time every night and have agreed to let our feelings show and be honest with each other while he's here.

I'm looking for advice as to things to do, how to act, what to wear, pretty much anything. I do want him to want to get back together, though I'm still unsure if that's what I want. I'm also wondering how everyone feels about getting back into a previous relationship. I would also love to hear anyone's previous experiences in a similar situation.

Thanks to everyone in advance. .

Update:

To those recommending communication.. I would like to try something a little more subtle that would get him to make the move, something that lets me know that I'm not the only that wants to try a relationship again.

    all there is to do is to be totally honest. tell him what you think caused the breakup and that you think it could still work out. just dress like yourself, act like yourself. that will bring the best outcome.

    a lot of fighting can happen when people are stressed out for any reason. if thats the case with you two, then maybe you can learn to handle stress better and not let it cause fights between the two of you. if there was other problems contributing, then you have to decide yourself if it something that can be resolved or not.

    You should have told him not to come. Because you will probably get back together because when you are comfy with someone you fall back into old habits.

    Trust me it has happened to me a million times with my current bf and sometimes i wish it hadn't. Because you break up for a reason you know.

    uhm communication! doesnt matter what clothes ya wear or what earrings ya got in.. its about communication!

    ask yourself what went wrong the first time roud, then ask yourself whats changed now, whats not to say you'll end up at square one again.

    resolve your problems first then get back together, and if its till doesnt work out then you two just werent meant to be.
