Cold sores are typically caused by herpes simplex virus 1, while genital herpes is typically caused by herpes simplex virus 2. I say "typically" because herpes simplex virus 1 & 2 can cause cold sores and herpes simplex virus 1 & 2 can cause genital herpes.
If you kiss your girlfriend she can definetly contract herpes from you (cold sores). Kissing is the most common way of transmitted cold sores. If she DID contract them from you and then was to give you oral sex, YOU can develop genital herpes. You would then have cold sores and genital herpes caused by herpes simplex virus 1 (it wouldn't "evolve" into type 2).
I have personally had genital herpes for 6 years now. I have herpes simplex virus 1 though (as genital herpes not cold sores). I have NEVER had a cold sore in my life, but I have had several genital herpes outbreaks.

There are two types of herpes simplex virus: HSV-1 and HSV-2. Both virus types can cause sores around the mouth (herpes labialis) and on the genitals (genital herpes). Cold sores are caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV).
Cold sores sometimes called fever blisters, are groups of small blisters on the lip and around the mouth. The skin around the blisters is often red, swollen, and sore. The blisters may break open, leak a clear fluid, and then scab over after a few days. They usually heal in several days to 2 weeks.
The herpes simplex virus usually enters the body through a break in the skin around or inside the mouth. It is usually spread when a person touches a cold sore or touches infected fluid?such as from sharing eating utensils or razors, kissing an infected person, or touching that person's saliva. A parent who has a cold sore often spreads the infection to his or her child in this way. Cold sores can also be spread to other areas of the body.

You have hsv-1 orally. So, you have hsv-1. Since you already have hsv-1 you have antibodies to hsv-1, so you would need exposure in very very high quantities in order to get it again somewhere else on your body.
Your girlfriend could catch hsv-1 from you. If she does, avoid contact with an open sore otherwise don't worry about it it is not going to spread below.
HSV-1 cannot 'turn' into hsv-2, they are two different viruses that share about 50% DNA. HSV-1 is 'usually' oral and hsv-2 is 'usually' genital but either can be caught in either location. Most people never have classic symptoms that they recognize as herpes, the only way to know your status for sure is to make sure any time you are getting an 'std screen' to ask for the herpes igg test.

I was tested positive for herpes type 2 approximately 5 years back, when I was still in college and had a spupid one night stand. I think a lot of girls will say this but I swear I never did that sort of thing. I jud made mistake that one time and, suddenly, it seemed like I was going to have to live with it for the rest of my life. The awful part was feeling I could never meet men again. After all, who wants to date a girl who has sores around her you-know-what? But after a good friend shared this video https://tr.im/T1wxL everything has changed. Not only was I able to remove all traces of the herpes virus from my system in less than three weeks, but I was also able to start dating again. I even met my soulmate and I'm so happy to say that just last week, in fornt of many people in a restaurant, he got down on one knee and proposed to me! This program offered me the chance to be happy again, and to experience true love.

One virus can't turn into the other. But someone can have an HSV-1 virus affecting the genital area. Say if you perform oral sex on your girlfriend she could get the HSV-1 virus (what you have) infection on her genitals. But it would not "mutate" into HSV-2 because it's on her genitals.
