What is the nationality of your European girlfriend?
Does she live in the UK?
If in UK, what does she do (employed, self-employed, student, etc.)?

You may apply to remain in the UK as a non-EEA family member of an EEA citizen.

Reading Chapter 5 - Residence card applications should help.

Moving topic to the relevant forum, where you should be able to receive more detailed responses.
