This isn't to say keep your mouth shut, though.
Yes, this is more important than any foot massage or wine (especially when you are just trying to be her friend). Listen, don't solve, and don't be silent. Pretty much just engage in lively conversation that shows how interested you are in what she has to say. This goes farther with most women, platonically or otherwise, than just about any physical gesture I can think of.
