What can we do? my girlfriend had mono 3 or 4 years ago, will i get mono?

Hard to say: The primary contagious period from mono is the first 3 weeks after onset.Yet some remain contagious for a few months and in some, the germ can hibernate and shed intermittently for years.If you had it as a kid, you are immune.I wouldn't worry about it.If you call her your gf you have been exposed enough to get it already.
