When I read the title of your thread, before reading your initial post, I thought about it as "girlfriend." In a romantic way. That is the first thing which came to my mind.

Then, by reading your post, I had to stop to think about it.
Usually yes, but not necessarily. It is somewhat of an affective way of expressing a relationship (although someone may object that it also expresses a "possessive" feeling implying some prejudice).

You could also use "She is my girl" to refer to your fianceé, wife, or even your daughter.

Or your secretary / executive assistant, but it's not a very "enlightened" way to talk.
