Since you started college have you been in a romantic relationship that has lasted longer than six months? If so, how many? (I recoded num.romances, which in the questionnaire can range from [1, 5], to [0, 5], using the answer to the former question.)

The same question also applies to the variable, any.romances.of.at.least.six.months.
