Staying in touch with an ex

Last summer, me and my girlfriend broke up. Despite it being a pretty horrible break-up, we kept in touch and became the good friends again that we were before.

I haven't actually seen her since last summer (we really don't have the same friends groups and I've been at uni), but we kept in touch with a lot of text messages, MSN conversations and phone conversations.

Sure, at the beginning, I kinda hoped that we'd get back together but that's gone now (honestly) and I do just like having her as a close friend.

However, since the start of this summer, she hasn't been as close, not really texting as much or seems as interested in chatting. She also seems pretty into a new guy (who I have nothing against - I sort of know him through a friend who is in both our circles) - nothing's happened between them as far as I know but from what I heard, they are quite flirty.

Maybe she just thinks it'd be weird for me if she ended up with this guy so isn't talking as much so we aren't as close so it isn't as weird. It might be weird but I'd prefer it to be weird for a bit than lose a friend.

Basically - what should I say to her without seeming as if I am still in love with her and am jealous?
