no signs of infection so far occured, so I guess there wasn't even contact to the virus :D

Or you did get in contact, but it didn't integrate with a cell.  Or it did, but you already have antibodies for it because you were infected in the past and cleared the infection.  Or it did and you don't have antibodies, but you're in the incubation stage before you begin to show symptoms.  Or you are infected now but you'll never show symptoms, but you'll remain an asymptomatic carrier for life.  It seems a bit early to jump to conclusions.

You may want to just get tested for HSV antibodies.  If you have them, and you never display symptoms, then you're probably not ever going to have cold sores -- although you may still be a carrier, and I believe it's still technically possible to transmit the infection.
