She tapped the inside of her door, a friendly gesture.

To any observer, it would have looked like a friendly gesture of support.

He was making sure she could not mistake his touch for a simple, friendly gesture.

Too late I realized: it had been meant as a friendly gesture.

Even putting his arm about her could have meant nothing more than a friendly gesture toward someone he had known for years.

He held out his hands in a friendly gesture and said, "Welcome."

As they started up the walk, he took her hand in a friendly gesture.

It was the first time that I had seen this friendly gesture since leaving the earth.

It's just part of the atmosphere there, a friendly gesture.

She held out her hand in a gesture so natural and friendly he nearly took it.
