Squeeze a girl's upper arm gently to convey warmth, understanding and closeness.
I learned this from a female friend who is an exceptionally warm person. She's great at making the people around her feel cared about. Whenever she squeezes my arm, I instantly feel closer to her.
Here are some scenarios it could be used in:
Scenario 1
She's telling you her pet hamster just died.
What to do: Gaze at her sympathetically and squeeze her arm.
What it conveys: "I know you're hurt and I'm here for you."
Scenario 2
You're getting off the bus with her and she trips. Oh dear.
What to do: Give her a warm smile and squeeze her arm.
What it conveys: "There's no need to be embarrassed, it's happened to me before too and I'm not judging you."
Scenario 3
You meet up after not seeing each other for a while.
What to do: Look her straight in the eyes, smile and squeeze her arm.
What it conveys: "Hi! Things are still the same between us."
