He knows when not to push a topic, and that's as clear a sign as any to back off, so he does. There are many things he'd like to know about Ned, including inquiring more about his abilities, or powers, or whatever he wants to call them, but he gets the sense he has to tread carefully.
"Yeah," he agrees, "Most things are complicated in one way or another." And that's the end of that discussion. It's not so much about Ned's love life as it is about figuring out just who Ned is, what makes him tick, whether or not he could be useful in some way. He's not adverse to the idea of making friends with him, assuming Ned's forgiveness was genuine -- and it seems to be.
"Do you ever bake bread?" It's a completely unrelated question, but it's not without it's own purpose. Ned has some useful skills with this whole cooking and baking thing. Maybe Meyer can benefit from those skills, or at least attempt to learn some of them.
