I having been seeing a girl from the US for almost a year. We met in Europe while she was studying and I came to the US with her when her visa expired. My 90 days will be up soon and I'm going to go home and she will visit at Christmas time. Can anyone give me any advice on how we can spend longer amounts of time in each other's country, without getting married. Any advice is appreciated.

You have few options. For the USA, you can try for a work visa if you have rare skills, or maybe a student visa if you can afford it. You could also apply for a B2 tourist visa, which allows a 6 months stay, but they are often reluctant to grant there to people who can visit 90 days on the VWP because they wonder how you can support yourself without illegally working.

On her side, I know Ireland has a "de facto relationship" visa where you do not need to be legally married. You may want to read this thread, especially the last few pages (it's long and the first few pages are old and outdated info: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055529883
