That's also the question I have the hardest time answering. I think that the answer above is a great way to respond. Another way is just to be perfectly blunt and say something like "I apologize, but I'd rather wait until we get to know each better before we start talking about our past relationships"
*screech* now that's a conversation/rapport stopper (imo)
I also liked curlyfry's suggestion. Frame it as a conscious choice, not a lack of luck/ability and point out a positive (more time developing as an individual, more focus on career/passion)
The only issue with this is being careful to not sound too much like you're "spinning" or overcompensating (don't make these points too emphatically)
