    They really are wondering who broke up with who, just like us females wonder about them. They want to make sure they aren't rebounds.

    Because it's all part of the Getting to know you Phase, and guys want to know if either A: You're a psycho and the Voices told you too, or B: To avoid making the same mistake(s) or C: You won't stop talking about you EX, and so the new guy is just trying to act interested and remind you that you're with him now, so STFU already about the ex

    Same reason potential employers want to know why you left your last job?
    Poor performance~ getting fired/ dumped (maybe something is wrong with you)
    Wanted a higher salary~ gold digger
    Did not play well with others ~ Possible jealousy/drama
    Seeking new challenges~ This girl is a heart breaker
    Etc etc etc
    If you don't want to divulge, keep it simple. Talk about exes shouldn't have an important part in relationships anyways.

    because it shows the patterns you have in relationships and if you are someone who fits there standards. I would want to know why a dude broke up with his last girl just to see if he would be honest about it or be hesitant to tell me etc..

    If this guy is just a friend, maybe he is just curious. But if it's a guy you're looking to take things to the next level, I do not think it is much to ask. I don't think we even bother to know a person fully in these quick relationships anymore. Maybe he wants to know becuase he wants to understand what you may or may not put up with, or how high maintenance a woman may be.

    I think it has to do with knowing what can end it with them. knowing if they have a chance.

    I don't think its only a guy thing as I ask guys as well.

    They need to make sure if it was money or the *****. They need to know what turns you on

    we want to know if you're gonna dump us in a year for something like a toilet seat left up. girls are petty and we want to know how petty you are before we get attached.
