Just take her down to Wally World and buy her a 13" TV so she can watch her sitcoms. Then invite her over a lot if she wants to watch movies. If it doesn't work out, it only cost about the money for a date.

You love her after one month? Your out of your f0cking mind...
This is seriously risky, lend it to her and you risk losing the tv ($300 plus stand) and you only have known her for 2 weeks.
Don't lend it to her. She'll probably flip...

This is well said. :thumbsup:
A person you recently met should be classified as a "friend". "Girlfriend" status should only granted after time and a minimum level of trust is established, at the very least. You are asking us this question because you feel something is wrong but you do not know exactly what it is that is wrong. Building a strong friendship is the first step. Opening your heart and offering commitment is a later step.
From what I have seen over the last year or so, you seem like an overly good person. However, your choice of friends is too low for you. If you do not respect yourself, others will not respect you either.
EDIT:
Additionally, a "friend" should be someone in your inner circle of associates that you can trust. If you cannot feel a level of trust with someone, then that person should not be in your circle of friends.
Something I have wanted to say based on past threads and not this thread, do not hang around people that do drugs. Such people are not quality people that can be trusted. Hold yourself to a high standard and hold your associates to a similar high standard.
I dunno what but this is weird man. You call her gf and you don't know if you can trust her with a TV???

This is plain weird. You should never had gotten yourself in this situation. Two week girlfriend could become not your girlfriend next week. Asking her to sign a contract shows no trust and end of relationship. Either way, you're screwed.
The fact that you allowed someone to borrow a $2k pc and they thought it was a gift demonstrates that you either have poor communication skills or let people walk all over you.

I think making her sign a contract is worse than just saying no. I also have to ask, because, as much as I hate to admit it, I did read that last thread of yours where you were deciding between a mom and a possessive girl(good job on not wasting the mom's time, btw): So... what put her in the gf category?

I decided to not bother and just lent it to her. She can't buy her own tv yet - her parents gave her a credit card for food and clothes (the clothes she'd need for her job) but rent, etc. has to be paid by her using her own money. She just got her first paycheck and went to ikea to get basic furniture. She'll be able to afford a tv eventually, I'm sure.
Good job! You decided to completely ignore all the advice that was given to you by other ATOTers.
/me Waits for the "Stupid bitch stole my TV" thread...
I loaned my 32" LCD TV to my GF of a couple of months. A contract never even occurred to me because even if somehow we break up, I trust that she would do the right thing and give it back. 2 weeks, however, seems to be pushing it.

I would never dream of making a g/f sign a contract for something unless it was something like a car.

Good move. I'm being serious. You showed her your true generous character, and that is very endearing.
If you don't use it, what were you going to do with it? If you were just going to let it rot in the closet indefinitely then I don't see what the big deal is even if she keeps it. I understand the notion that if there's a nasty breakup you don't want her keeping something that has monetary value, I guess. Even so, think of it in a sort of zen type way... it's one less possession tying you to the consumer world.
So you play hardball with her and claim the computer was stolen.
Edit: Oops, I saw the update on this.
So your gf wants to borrow your tv so the "ghetto" guys in her neighborhood can come over her place and watch....
I would be cautious...

Going to Ikea for furniture and she can't afford a TV? She's doing it wrong. Find a good bed, *second hand* living room furniture and you'll have enough for a second-hand TV.
If you don't have money, why buy new? You can still buy new stuff a year or two down the road.

Fuck that, I'd be walking off with it. I have the receipt, you don't, oh and I'll be formatting all your data too.
