how do you respond to "why?"
1. Because it's none of your business.
2. It's in the past, so it doesn't matter now.
3. Because I don't want to tell you <-- recommended response.

It's simple refuse to give anyone such a number. They NEVER really want to know. You should never want to know someone so completely that there are no secrets either. Your supposed to trust for a reason. They will get over not knowing much faster, and I say this from experience, and repeating "I don't want to tell you".

Two more things.
1. If you don't give them a number, you don't have to lie about it.
2. Make sure next time the subject comes up you tell your next partner you don't want to know BEFORE you get a number. Saves you from having to tell.
Except for not lying, I think I literally disagree with everything said.
