Hopeful, you're pursuing in that exchange:

1) Wish u were here
2) Could have been arranged
3) With enough notice or later

You're telling him directly you wish he was there, and then laying on guilt that he didn't work with you to arrange it!

If you're truly detaching your reply would have been:

"That's me! Having fun!"

Do your best to leave him out of it! Make HIM wish he was there.

Make sense? You're doing great, but you're still pursuing -- the more you can put the brakes on that the more you will reel him in.

Always remember, he wants to pursue you! You're not fun to pursue if you just sit down and say "you got me" right away. Make him wonder, make him work. The harder he has to work now, the more he will respect what he has, and the less likely he will be to stray in the future, because you were HARD WON!

Keep it up Hopeful, this truly is very hard, but you are making progress, I think you can see that. Trust in the approach, detach even more!
