You're being kept around as a back up for his entertainment. Cut him out of your life and move on.

 He wants you hanging around just in case his new GF don't work out.
And I wanna BET he didn't get a chain e-mail from you.
I wouldn't bother asking him why he keeps texting... I would just block his phone number and e-mail.Pretend he doesn't exist any more.

He's clearly trying to get your attention. It could be what starfairy says about the ego boost. Or maybe he is trying to figure out if you hate him and make nice. Guys are weird in this way they really have a morbid fear of being "the bad guy"... if he dumped you for another girl, that's a pretty jerk thing to do and he may be feeling guilty about it. So he keeps contacting you to see if he's back in your good graces yet? He's waiting for things to be "cool" with you two so he can stop feeling bad.
Or... maybe he misses you but he's too chicken to say that. Nobody knows for sure we are all just guessing. If you really want to know why not just ask him - Hey dude, I'm confused. You dumped me, so why do you keep texting?

 I agree 100% with starfairy...all he is after is affirmation that he's a hot dude with women wanting him. Don't give into him. The best thing to do is to ignore him. There are a lot of guys (and girls!) out there like this. They have low self esteem and the way they feed their ego is by stringing people along.

 He wants an ego boost...He wants you crying down the phone and telling him you miss him and want him back, blah blah blah...He's not being very fair to this new girl! Sounds like he needs constant entertaining, he likes the idea of various girls wanting him.
