Typically, I don't like the responses to such questions but I am quite amazed and humbled by the responses people gave you so far. All of the are good advices depending on what your case is.
I agree with everything other people said...but with a slight difference.
> DON'T Pretend you are happy. Go out and be happy!
> DON'T Pretend you are having the time of your life. Go out and have one!
> DON'T Pretend you have a new romantic-interest. If you run into one, then that is great!
> Genuinely plot a course for moving on with your life. If he has any genuine interest in you then all of this will bother him and make him want you. Nothing can make him do anything and so don't expect any guaranteed results. And this way, if none of it works out, then you would have moved on with your life and be free from the pain!
A part of me wants to say that before you start doing this...contact him and tell him everything about how you feel. This is typically done best by writing a letter/email to the individual. A letter allows you indefinite time to reach out to your audience (as it can be read many times) and while writing/ "saying" it, you have time to edit/go-over your thoughts. It also helps avoid un-wanted drama as you two won't be confronting each other at the spot. This will inform of your feeling and intentions in a clear, informed and mature way. Allow him a week to decided on his choice and notify him of this deadline and then simply move on in the manner I suggested above. But I am afraid that in the imperfect world we are in...such an action might cause some un-wanted results. You might want to get opinion of other people if you consider implementing this idea.
It all depends on the specifics of your case. I hope you make the right choice. Good luck! Do let us know how it all goes.

Nothing. Don't bother...there is a reason why they are an ex!
I know the feeling to want to do this but it is a pretty childish move so you should draw a line at the thought of it. Usually just getting on with your own life, appearing happier without him, even just changing your profile picture to a picture of you he has never seen before will make him miss you. If you're still friends on Facebook and he still likes you, then he will already be missing you and is probably already going through your profile regularly, hoping there's no new guy in your life.
If you can access his account somehow, then I know how you can view his previous searches in the search bar on Facebook and then you can see if he's searching for you regularly. Though I don't really condone hacking someone's account.
However, you could write all over your Facebook about how you fancy guys, how you're seeing a guy, how happy you are, but it would not affect him in the slightest if he didn't have feelings for you anymore and he'd moved on already.
Also, it's pretty obvious if you're doing it intentionally. My ex changed his profile picture to a him and a girl who he was seeing a week after we broke up. It was obvious he was trying to make me jealous because he never has pictures of him and random girls. I'm personally not trying to make my ex jealous and that's why I haven't rushed to get a photo of me and my boyfriend up on Facebook. So rushing to put a picture of you and a guy up on Facebook almost immediately after the break up just makes it obvious that you're trying to make him jealous which won't make you look good and he'd probably laugh at you, not cry for you.
Well first put in a relationship. Right a status about how much you like him, and how well he treats you, and he's the best boyfriend ever. Take and post a bunch of pics together, make a collage or give you and him a whole profile (sorry can't think of the word that all of your different pics go into) filled with pics of only you two, and give it a name like me and my baby/hubby. Take a pic that would drive your ex mad, one of you guys kissing (shoot you should do a collage of yoi kissing). Or take a pic of you guys sitting on a couch/chair and him sitting down and you sitting on him facing him with your legs wrapped around him (that'll make him go mad). Lastly make one of the pics your profile pic.
Nothing.
Posting a lot of things and pictures of how your life is going is giving him sight of what you're doing, so he'll know what you're doing and with who you are.
If he sees nothing, he may be wondering about you, what you're doing and where you are and with who you are there.
So basicly, don't post anything to make him jealous, if anything, I wouldn't let him see my posts.
But I don't really believe this is the trick to get him back or jealous. If he doesn't want you back, some posts on Facebook (or the lack of posts on Facebook) won't change his mind.

I wouldn't. I mean not that you would be the first or the last person to do it but I wouldn't do it simply because it is a clear sign that you are not over him. Now whether he or anyone would pick up on that is irrelevant to the fact that you should personally not want to put yourself in that position... you 'should' want to be above simple acts to spur jealousy
the best revenge is always doing something great for yourself and living well. especially since honestly you don't even know that he will become jealous or miss you based on whatever you post. Is it going to get him to come running back to you? Is he going to go "oh sh*t she was the greatest thing ever? You just don't know
So I don't say don't it because of what others may think but more because I think you will be happeir in the long run if you don't sink to petty levels to try and force emotions out of him... try to just move on, find someone better and you'll feel betterYou can't just post something to get someone to like you. Someone likes you only if he feels attracted to you, so if you broke up, if you haven't addressed what went wrong the first time, getting back with him will just reopen old injuries and problems.
However, if he still likes you, nothing extra that you do will make him start to miss you. If he misses you, then he will keep on missing you. If he doesn't miss you, then he won't miss you. So if you want to get with him, talk to him in person, instead of posting something, hoping he "might" miss you.I'm not gonna sit here and tell you how not to be immature and things of that nature. If you want to make him jealous then that's what you're gonna do. Who knows it may be for a good reason as your reason wasn't listed. Here's what you do and DON'T do. First DON'T post anything about him or how bad you miss him. Second gather up your friends and go out to a club or something else fun if you're not the clubbing type. Take plenty of pictures of yourself with the biggest smile on your face and appear to be having the time of your life. Make sure to fix yourself up real nice for the pictures though. Third mention a little something about this new amazing guy you just met (real or make-believe) and how "you're glad things turned out the way they did."

I think you're just looking for trouble if you're trying to get his attention like this, especially if you post things that may not be true. Why did you two break up? Regardless of the reason, you don't want him to get back together with you just because he misses you or because he's jealous. You want him to want you back because HE wants to and not because you want him to. I hope that last part made sense...
Nothing :)
I wouldn't post anything because I wouldn't want him to realize he still has some power over me.
If I noticed an obvious change in the posting pattern of a recent ex, I'd suspect something. I'd realize he's trying too hard, and it would make me glad we're done.
I suggest you keep on posting as you used to, without focusing on him, and get on with your life. Do things you like, have fun !
I completely agree with what anonymous user said (the long answer) !I don't want to judge you like the others on here. The best way is to write something about how much fun you had yesterday at the bar/club and that you met an awesome guy, you kissed him etc. But don't make it too obvious. Try to make it seem like you are finally over him and that you are enjoying the life without him.
Why not take the mature route and talk to him about how you're feeling? I suppose you're interested in starting things up again since you want him to miss you. If not and you're just doing this out of spite, please take this opportunity to become a bigger person and not do it at all.
Most answers here are pathetic, why would you encourage such childish behavior . You want to make him jealous so he comes back to you? You are a wicked person, it's not to hard to see why he broke up with you.
Why do you want to make your ex jealous and miss you? He's your ex for a reason, the word Ex should never be used in a sentence when it comes to relationships. It seems like everyone wants to or does get back with their ex. I mean how the hell does that make any sense? If two people were never meant to break up the word ex would never exists.
Nothing...to do that is to prove to everyone you still care what he thinks about you. It doesn't say anything about him and shows zero maturity on your part.
If you are 25 to 29 -- maybe its time to leave that stuff in middle school where it belongs.Just don't be so immature and childish. I'm gonna guess he waa the one that ended it. In which case, very little if anything is going to make him jealous.
you shout post that you enjoy your life without him,pic of party and good looking friends.this defenitly will make him jealous.
Nothing. Sometimes the best revenge is to move on with your life and demonstrate how little you need him.
Nothing. Be mature about your relationship. If he's not giving you attention, speak to him in an honest, adult fashion about it.
You shouldn't do that to begin with. If someone is not interested in you, you can't convince them.
You could instead... go out and meet someone new. That's better than trying to get your ex jealous.
Nothing. If you look like you're not thinking about him, he may wonder. But then again, games suck.
Don't post anything at all. He will think you are too busy living your life and not thinking of him.
Post a picture of yourself kissing one of your guy friends.
Girls don't like when we make them jealous...we don't like when girls make us jealous. Don't be an ass
