Jealousy. A common emotion we ALL experience, my advice is going to be tasteful and will not be the type of advice that will make your ex boyfriend hate you but the type of advice that will make him MISS you.
Firstly, if you have your ex on a social network site such as twitter or facebook then this is a bit thumbs up! As much as you would want to delete him, dont because if your going to make him jealous then this is the best tool to do so. Commenting on his friends photos things like 'hot' and 'sexy' is a big no no and will make your boyfriend simply think bad of you. You need to let him know you are happy and not thinking about him (which you are obviously ha-ha). Start by posting a few status's saying what you are doing like "going out with the girls tonight, should be fun' or something letting him know you are not miserable without him. Also commenting on your close friends walls that are mutual friends with him so he can view your posts, post things like "today was fun, we should go out tonight", and let him know you are going out and still having fun.
Secondly, the act of replacement. Let him know you have moved on but without looking trashy. Comment on a good guy friends wall (someone who you can get to cover for you) things like "today was fun. do you want to go get coffee tommorow" (or similar things like this) and also add alot of guy friends.
Other options are if you do bump into your boyfriend make sure you are friendly and ask how he is and make sure you mention you are loving life and have heaps of plans on the weekend so he thinks you aren't thinking of him. Also maybe telling his close friends that you know will tell your ex things like you have met a really nice guy, or have been talking to someone and finally moving on so your ex will find out and also realize you are moving on. This sounds very desperate but even getting on of your close guy friends to walk with you past a place you know your ex will be, and act very happy and pretend not to see him.
Hope this helps, and do not kiss other men infront of your ex- that is the biggest no no and turn off.
