We've all done it. Whether it's your ex-boyfriend or your boyfriend's ex - or just a friend of a friend whose life you find fascinating - the instant gratification of checking in on his or her online life is a temptation that's hard to deny. Snooping is harmless if infrequent, but the slip from a few times a year to a few times a month, week, or day is swift. Now that Facebook has changed its privacy settings, it's once again easy to get details on anyone and view photos of everyone. At least for everyone who hasn't updated their settings! Whether your vice is personal blogs, Twitter, or Facebook, here are eight signs your snooping has gone too far.

1. You find yourself pretending you don't know things.
2. Snooping is a part of your Internet routine.
3. You haven't told anyone about it.
4. You follow friends of friends (and of friends!) of the person you originally snooped on.
5. There's often nothing new when you snoop.
6. You befriend a friend of a stalkee (on- or offline).

Earlier this week I asked you all to share your relationship and dating resolutions for 2010. With your input, I've come up with five tips to help us start the decade off right with healthy relationships and hotter sex. You might not be into New Year's resolutions, but it can't hurt to keep these tips in mind all year long.

• Ditch Excuses - While there's always a reason for any love-life rut, start the year off by ditching these excuses. If you can't afford a fancy date night, cook something at home and split an affordable bottle of vino. If you keep turning down dates because the guys aren't your type, give the next brave dude a shot. Or, take a cue from this user, who said: "I signed up for online dating - I am busy but that is no excuse to be lonesome."
• Avoid Blow Out Fights - Many of you taken ladies said you want to avoid bottling up your emotions this year. Instead you want to speak up as things bother you in your relationship. Being honest about your feelings is

Sex with an ex is one of those universal no-nos that your mom and hair dresser would probably agree on. "Don't do it!" they'll say, yet so many of us have and do. Maybe it's time to acknowledge the not-entirely-unhealthy reasons for having ex sex. At least then we can justify it!

1. Baby-Step Breakups: Though I've heard of cold-turkey breakups, I've never met one. Most breakups take weeks or months - even years. I spent more time in breakup mode with one boyfriend than I did in the official relationship. So, yes, people often have sex until something new comes along. It may not be the best coping mechanism, but it's hardly the worst.
2. To See What You're Not Missing: This is a risky one, as it could easily backfire and make you think you are missing something. But we tend to idealize lost loves, so if absence has built him up, let presence bring him down.
3. End a Dry Spell: If you've gone so long without sex that you could care less, ex sex can reignite your interest

Ah, the holidays. It's the time of year when many of us pack our bags and endure the holiday travel headaches so we can spend time with our families. If your family can count on you to be home for Christmas the year, then you're probably counting on the inevitable challenges that come with the large quantity of quality time. Here are five tips that will help you spend less time worrying about awkward situations and more time enjoying yourself.

• Have a Game Plan - Prepare for expected awkward moments. If you're bringing a significant other to your parents' house, let him know beforehand that you will have to sleep in separate bedrooms if that's how your family rolls. If you just lost your job, come up with a good answer to the question: what are you doing these days? And in the latter case, don't be afraid to use the holidays as a networking opportunity.
• Keep Your Sense of Humor - That drunk uncle might make you cringe, but you could just chuckle. And instead of getting

Sex once a week or every two weeks - is this normal? I feel like my boyfriend has lost interest in me. I've tried to spice it up a bit, but I don't know what else to do! I talk to him, and all he says is that I take the fun out by asking and nagging him about it all the time. So I try not to say anything and then nothing ever happens, or after a week or so he just wants oral. We have some of the best sex I've ever had and I'd be fine having sex daily - I'm so attracted to him! We live together and have for about a year now. Sometimes I wonder if that takes the spice out of it. I try to not just be a roommate though and to still be the girlfriend I was before. He just isn't very affectionate either; maybe that has something to do with it. I find it difficult to try to turn on someone who I can't make out with anytime of the day or touch him without him freaking out. What is his

Forget Dinner is a website that caters to people in sexless marriages. The casual dating site is particularly popular in the UK and boasts the tag line: "Forget dinner and go straight to bed!" Subtle! While many people use online dating (and dating in general) just to get laid, Forget Dinner removes any confusion. The site explains: "Forget Dinner allows people to be direct and honest about what they want without having to waste time, money, and effort sifting through the many thousands of singles who want a partner for life." Almost all the users are married, and the site has a 10-to-1 ratio of men to women. Some users say that they want to avoid long-term affairs that could get messy, so instead they look for no-strings-attached sex to make up for what they're evidently not getting at home. There's a trend among dating sites to declare people's motives right from the start. We have the site 7 or Better for people looking for well-endowed men, and there's even a Sugar Daddies site.

Colin Nissan and Sean Farrell of Don't Be That Guy fame have graciously agreed to answer some burning questions we women folk have about men. So check out their answer to the first question and stay tuned for more!

Today's question to Two Guys: "Why, if men get regular sex from their girlfriends or wives, do some of them still need to masturbate?"

On paper, we know this one doesn't make a whole lot of sense. But then, neither does whacking off into a perfectly good sock and we do that too.

Ever since that magical adolescent day when we discovered there was amusement park in our pants, there was no turning back. We were powerless. Our penis became the puppeteer and when it told us it was time to dance, we danced. Boy, did we dance.

Please don't make the mistake of taking this personally. For guys, masturbating is as unsexual, unromantic and unceremonial as doing Sudoku. It's simply our default time killer. If there's a two-minute lull at any given moment, our

Some girls never let go of their wish to be princesses, and thanks to designer Kristie Kelly, they don't have to. The Kirstie Kelly for Disney by Mouwad collection, shown at Bridal Week in New York, features six engagement rings and wedding bands that pay homage to Disney's leading princesses.

The engagement rings, named after Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, Cinderella, Jasmine, Ariel, and Belle are supposed to be "subtle references to the personalities of each princess." For example, the baguettes and clean lines of the Ariel ring are supposed to reference the bold style of art deco and Ariel's "bold individuality."

Although I was never a fan of princesses, have no plans of getting married anytime soon, and would feel sheepish taking a leap into adulthood wearing a Disney-inspired engagement ring, I do fancy the look of the Sleeping Beauty ring. What do you think of this collection?
