I've always wanted to DM a game, but the only person I have to play with is my girlfriend. Can /tg/ suggest any systems for running a campaign with only one player? Preferably in a classic high fantasy or Star Wars-like space setting?

Live in the country outside of a small, extremely redneck town. My chances of finding any players are pretty slim.

FFG Star Wars games (Edge of the Empire/Age of Rebellion) can be run with only one player without many difficulties. Nice systems too.
Anyways, in most cases, the problems will come from your DMing rather than the system you use.
Try to make her able to control/command multiple characters, or use DMPCs.

Scarlet Heroes, anon. It's a fantasy system built to be run with a single PC, with (or without) a GM.

Having only one player usually goes with some issues, the most blatant being "not seeing the obvious solution".
One thing that I've done to a couple of solo games to prevent that and add a special touch was to make a very hard campaign that had the PC time loop back to the beginning every time he fails.
It adds a lot of work for you, but it's very fun and immersive.
