<human>: So I posted a few days ago about my break-up with my ex-girlfriend, it happened about 2 months ago, we are/were living together in a flat (she's moved back home for the easter break now and I'm going back on sunday) with some friends for university. 

So we live a town away from each other back home, and one weekend last month she met up by a guy she has known for years, she said she used to have a little thing back when she was 16ish (he's 2 years older than her) and that she has been on a few dates with him. She is now in a relationship with him, which obviously upsets me but I'm happy that she is happy. 

I'm just wanting a bit of advice on to approach the next steps. We still want to be friends with each other, and want to keep in touch. She's studying in Italy next year for university. We've been very close whilst still living together in the same flat but now that's pretty much over as we're just going up for exams. 

How do I go about still keeping friends with her? I still do have feelings for her but I've accepted we've broken up and I have realised that my life isn't over (something which I felt like for the last 2 months). So do I leave it for a few weeks/months then just say hey, fancy meeting up for a coffee? She said she would write letters to me every now and again, we both do like letters as a form of communication. 

I'm going to take my mind off her for a while, I've got end of year exams coming up and I'm looking to start driving, getting a job over summer, I might start going to the gym and just generally keeping myself busy. Cheers for reading!

Can you provide a brief overview of the text?
<bot>: How do I go about trying to remain in contact with my ex-girlfriend? We both want to but I don't want to come off as though I still want to be together or push her away.
