Why does ex want to know if I'm dating anyone new?

Anonymous
Me and ex boyfriend broke up end of June, tried to limit contact since then. Recently he has started communicating with his joke text msgs but now has starting chatting via text ( and also asked last wk if we could meet for dinner - but I wasn't available). He's text me today asking how I am and if life is good... and if I'm dating anyone?

Why would he ask that... as I really don't want to know about his love life? opinions appreciated.. thanks

Well I thought like you guys it was beause he had an interest in me, but no, he's the one with a new gf! I guess he was wondering if I've moved on too :(
