When a man asks why I broke up with my ex, he tells me, “That’s enough! I don’t want to hear it!” if I answer in detail. Do you know what he actually wants me to say?
This content is machine-translated.
Is it best to just brush it off by saying I’ve forgotten??
I’m BB7, a male member.
He sounds like the kind of man who says, “That’s enough! I don’t want to hear it anymore!” no matter what you answer.
Why not ask him why he broke up with his ex, then pout and say, “That’s enough! I don’t want to hear it!”?

First of all, two cushions for Meg. No matter how you look at it, that was quite a question to ask—and I’m afraid that includes the person who asked it. Sorry.
And three cushions for Mac’s answer. Brilliant.
In any case, I think the two of you have said it all.
And if Meg protests, “Why do I only get two?!” I have absolutely no rebuttal. I can only bow my head in humble apology.

> Do you know how they want you to answer?
Normally, if someone asks, I’d assume they’re a mature, open-minded adult who’s comfortable discussing things to that extent. But apparently, some people aren’t like that.
In that case, I can’t help thinking, “Then why ask in the first place?” Still, even if they do ask, it seems best to give a vague answer until you’ve gotten to know each other better.
Something like:
“I’m not really sure, but I guess younger people just aren’t a good fit for me. Maybe I need someone older.”
That should work too.

I’m Meg, a female member.
The person asking is being pretty cheeky too, so there’s no need to answer them with complete honesty.
How about something like this?
“I don’t really want to talk about it because it makes me sad. I’m happy just to have met you like this, but isn’t that enough?”
(Slightly mist your eyes ← this is the key point. Look up at him through your lashes.)
If he believes that and cheers up, you deserve an Academy Award.
Ah, but I don’t think Mac would fall for it (^_^;)
P.S. Joe,
I’m far too grateful to receive two zabuton cushions from you! I’m nowhere near worthy to stand in Mac’s shadow (*´-`)

If you answered that and the conversation ended there, I don’t see a problem with it.
Normally, people neither ask nor answer questions like that. So if she’s asking you directly, I think it’s perfectly fine to answer as much as you’re comfortable sharing.
In a normal romantic relationship, that kind of question can often lead to becoming boyfriend and girlfriend and developing things further. But in a dating club, that opportunity generally isn’t there, so perhaps she simply ended the conversation by saying that because there was no point in asking and no real answer to give.
She may just not have thought of a better response and might even be thinking she shouldn’t have asked. So I don’t think you need to worry about it too much.
