What is a good way to ask for boundaries with a friend?

One of my friends (f20) and I (m21) have been friends for about a year now, but we don't hang out that much. When we do, it's usually just her and I and sometimes her friend and we just hang out and watch a movie and talk. Sometimes I take her to parties for my club team. Her and I haven't hung out in a couple weeks but in that time she has a new boyfriend. I'll admit I did and still kind of do have feelings for her but I'm more than happy just being friends with her, especially since I can tell she's not into me. Her boyfriend also seems like a really nice guy and I think that they'll be happy together.

I've noticed that she hasn't been responding to texts or snapchats as quick recently, and I'm just assuming that's because she's more focused on her new boyfriend. We're supposed to hang out sometime next week but we haven't figured out when yet.

I want to ask her to lay out some boundaries for me so I don't accidentally cross a line. Something along the lines of "is it okay if we still hang out just the two of us" or "are you still comfortable coming to parties with me" I have zero intentions of taking it too far and I don't want her to be uncomfortable with something I do unintentionally. What is a good way for me to approach the conversation?
