My girlfriend has expressed an interest in playing games with me and so I am looking for
fun, interesting games to play together. Sadly I am trying to stick clear of anything "deathmatch" like that would discourage her from playing as I am an avid gamer and she is brand new.

Any suggestions? :)

Depends on what you have.

If you've got a Wii I'd try for either New Super Mario Bros or Kirby's Epic Yarn. Portal 2 would be a good option as well, just make sure you don't pick something that your going to try and rush through or throws a shit ton of things at her like MMOs or most shooters.

Trine 2 is a puzzle game that allows co-op.

i started playing resident evil 5 with mine. borderlands is pretty good to and in both games if she starts to fall behind you can save her without making her feel like shes holding you back

I second the Left 4 Dead games, Borderlands, and I guess Portal 2.

There's also the Spec Ops/Survival missions in MW3.

Portal 2, Little big planet (just steer clear of user-made penis levels), that 4-player Mario I can't remember the name of.

If you have a PS3 the you can try Little Big Planet 2. My fiance started Co-Op on that, it turns in to a giant game of who can steal all the bubbles. Also, Portal 2 is a great game to Co-Op in because you actually have to rely on the other person.

StarCraft II is an awful idea, it's way too hard for a noob.

Portal II is pretty much ideal if you haven't played/beaten the coop mode yet.

Also here is a slightly more original idea... Crazy Machines. It's not "coop" per say, but it can easily be a collaborative and very fun experience. Especially if drinking. Other Incredible Machine-type games work too, but this one's more recent.

Me and a bro of mine played Uncharted 3's splitscreen. Fun co-op action with teamwork and coordination required, but unless you've played a fair amount of Uncharted you might not like it that much.

Definitely Left4Dead/Left4Dead 2. My girlfriend has been hooked on both for the past year. It's fun, it puts a strong emphasis on working together, and you can cover her well on the easier difficulties whilst she gets used to the controls.

Most likely something like Portal 2 that really requires some teamwork- and leads to a lot of fun. Just make sure you both have communication skills, so it doesnt resort to one or the other yelling/dictating everything that must be done.

Also, if you have it, Donkey Kong Country 1 or 2. Played the 2-player mode on my old SNES with my girlfriend awhile back, had a really fun and hilarious experience :)
