It could be my girlfriend or my female friend. Yes, it is ambiguous, and the correct interpretation, like many things, depends on context.

To me it seems like they’re referring to a girlfriend, but it could also be a female friend. You might get it from the context. To make 100% clear that you’re not talking about a romantic relationship you can always say “ein/e Freund/in von mir”.

It is not clear from this sentence. It can be the girlfriend as well as just a female friend. The text before this sentence should have set the context.
