         For a time reference, I would say 8-12 months seems to be 
     limit that I've noticed. This also seems to apply more to the
     younger women I have known. The single women living alone
     for any length of time who come to mind are older, and in many 
     cases divorced. I guess that implies a certain amount of 
     youthful inexperience as opposed to having been through a number
     of relationships or marriages.
