1. Girlfriend: This is the most common meaning. It refers to the person you are romantically involved with.
2. Close female friend: Sometimes, it can be used to refer to a very close female friend, especially if you're talking about something you know she'd be interested in or would approve of.
3. Female companion: In some cases, it can refer to any female friend you're with at the moment, but it's not as common as the other meanings.
Examples:
* "My girl is coming to visit this weekend." (Girlfriend)
* "I told my girl about the new restaurant." (Close female friend)
* "I'm going out with my girl tonight." (Female companion)
Important Note: Using "your girl" to refer to someone who is not your girlfriend can be disrespectful or imply a level of intimacy that might not be present. It's important to be mindful of the context and the person you are talking to.
