I like how you refer to her as your "current" gf. Sounds like you have high hopes for the future.

if it's a serious relationship, buy her a gift. if you're not sure it'll last, just keep it until the breakup. 99% she'll ask for it but if she doesn't and sh dumped you, she's "paying" you for your emotional pain. if you dumped her, save it for another year, just to be safe, and if she doesn't ask for it back, she's A, hella rich, or B, paying u for putting up with her.

go with the gift

keep it in a bank account and DONT TOUCH IT. Give it back when breakup or use for vacation and get laid or something. make sure you tell her that money is paying for it.

Make her take it back. You definitely want a clean slate in case things go sour down the road. I know it's not romantic to think that, but believe me, it happens.

Like others have said, just insist that you need to clear it up for your own peace of mind. Do not take no for an answer.

It might sound nice to spend it on some jointly agreeable thing, but if things get ugly you'll have a hard time convincing anyone that was the same as repaying the loan.

Just make her take the money and if SHE wants to spend it on you both, let her. A cancelled check will serve as proof in case you ever need it.

And once you get that out of the way, you won't have to worry about it any more.

keep the money in a safe place until you break up, then pay her back .

Give her a $2500 X-mas gift gift. Make sure she likes it.

Or drag her out to a bigass mall on x-mas eve and tell her you two are going on a $2500 shopping spree and are not going home until it's all gone.

As others said, find a way to get her to accept it or hold on to it if she ever asks for it back.

Give me the money. I'll give it back when you break up.

Ill try again to give it to her, if that doesn't work, I'll put it in a savings account and hold it there, 2500$ is too tempting to blow.

Good idea. If you do break up with her later on, she may want her money back. This way, you may even get to keep the 4% interest that you'll be earning if you have to pay her back.

putting it in an account or investment in her name would be the best thing to do.. but is probably difficult to do without her social security number.. but it would avoid you having a weak moment and spending it yourself.

that's what you should do, though.. if the relationship doesn't last she'll probably want that money (and if that happens, you should give it to her with whatever interest it's accrued), and if it does last, it'd make a nice start towards a house or a honeymoon.
