I've tried asking around and looking it up online but I can't find anything.

What I was told is that the chest usually has to do with emotion. And a pinching grip usually means taking, stealing, robbing, etc. So to me it sounds like "You have my heart" or something like that.

That's all I can do.

The last part of your post was no help since you don't remember, but the first part in ASL means "You, Me, *blank*, Me"

Having your pointer finger and your thumb being horizontal to one another is the "G hand" because it's the sign for the letter G but I have no idea what it means when it's slid across the chest, so that's why I left it saying *blank* because I don't know, and none of my friends know either. So she either got it wrong, or you're describing it wrong. I'll keep thinking about it though.

Puncia is correct though, signs having to do with the chest have to do with emotion. Did she have any kind of facial expressions that went along with the sign?

Hmm. ASL is very heavy in facial expressions and a lot of movement. I really can't think of what it could possibly mean, but what kind of relationship do you have with this girl?...that could give me a little bit of a clue as to what she was trying to get at.

If you like her, just ask her straight. She's female - I think everyone will agree that's it's easier to not try to decipher it.

One more question. How did she approach you to make this sign at you?
