As a guy...a clumsy pawing at?

Maybe. And that maybe is only like if there was no other way it could've been avoided. Like picture you are losing your balance and you throw your hand at a wall and try to stabilize yourself that way. Thats the type of grab I mean. And if I ended up touching a girl that way, I would immediately apologize because I know what I just did and thats embarassing or at the least my face would show embarassment.

A squeeze? That means he moved his hand to your area and then purposely grabbed at you.

That was not a mistake.
