Brief answer:
No , it is not possible for you to infect her without being infected or without showing symptoms yourself.

Detailed answer:
See , in scabies main complaint is itching mainly at webs between fingers and abdomen , chest . And the itching is quite severe . If you do not have itching , then you are definitely not suffering from scabies.
And as far as your girlfriend is concerned , she might be having something else other than scabies .
I hope this information was of help.
Thankyou.
