Of course, you don't want to go and hurt your ex on purpose, but if you're truly friends with him and you are both over each other, there should be nothing holding you back from asking out this "new kid".
I am going to quote a very good friend of mine: "If you like someone you should just get it over with and ask them out. Then, if they say yes, great! But if they say no, it's okay, you know that they're not interested and you can just forget about it and move on."
Sometimes it isn't easy to move on just like that, it isn't always that simple. But you can see where you and this new boy stand. If he does say no, maybe you should really be yourself around him and open up. Maybe then he'll be attracted to you because he knows you better.
I also know it's not always easy to just ask someone out like that, because you're afraid of rejection. It's normal, everyone is. But I told my guy friend that I really liked him, you know, that way, and he didn't like me that way back. But we are still friends and talk all the time, and there isn't even that awkwardness that I thought there might be. Getting it over with is just the way to go.
