WhatNow, your planned response will be, IMO, far better. Trying to invoke jealousy (and they often can tell) proves that it still bothers you, that he can still get under your skin. Wanting to make him jealous means you still care what's going on with him. Civility and pleasant detachment, in contrast, says that you are so indifferent to him that being at the same event is neither here nor there. Indifference is a far more bitter pill to swallow.
And remember, friends are some of the greatest people we have. But they think with their hearts, and not with their heads. We can't be that impulsive. This situation requires cool, calculated logic, not emotion.
