Making physical contact with someone without it seeming like you're doing it on purpose can be accomplished by engaging in activities that involve touching, but not focusing on the physical contact. For example, shaking hands, giving a hug, holding hands while walking, high fiving and playing touch-based sports are all acceptable ways to make physical contact without seeming too intentional about it.  If you need to make more direct contact, like when asking for help or comforting a friend, then make sure to initiate the.contact and be direct about your intentions. Avoid sudden movements or long pauses which could lead the other person to uncomfortable or uncertain.   Be mindful of others’ comfort levels and act accordingly.

You could greet the person with a handshake or ask permission to give them a hug. A brief pat on the back or an arm could also be an option, but make sure that your intent is conveyed in a platonic manner.
