What does it mean when you guys put your arm around a girl's shoulder?

Situations where I might put my arm around a girl all relate to girls that are just friends.

1.) To console a friend if she's upset.

2.) Hanging out, being flirty and having a one-on-one conversation with a friend.

3.) Any serious one-on-one conversation with a friend.

Never have I put my arm around a girl's shoulders that I was into. When I've seen other guys do the arm around the shoulder, it always looked like they were being too posessive, like he had to be a tough guy and let the world know she's his so back off.

I'm a bigger fan of holding hands or throwing an arm around small of her back when dating. When I'm flirting with a girl that I'm into, I'll hold hands, rub shoulders, lots of eye contact and smiling.

I think it means they like them. At least they feel comfortable or it is meant to be the movie classic move is it not?

What if a girl puts her arm around a guy's arm? Does that mean something? Or her feet on his lap?

It depends how I do it. If I do it for no reason (and pull you closer) then it means I like you. If I am doing it to take a selfie then it means nothing but I'm being friendly

And if I did it back, what didI show him?

[Mamusaurus]

It shows that you like it and you may like him back. Positive feelings

If I'm watching a movie with her and putting my arm around her shoulder, then I'm making advances. If I'm taking a picture with someone, it doesn't really mean much.
