I don't think that Hinata is a "girly girl". While she's painfully shy at times, she doesn't do all the stuff that are usually considered "girly", like shopping for shoes, slumber parties, ect.

Instead she wants to become a strong and indipendant shinobi and is trying to overcome her shyness (and also succeeding in the end).

She even sacrifices her life for Naruto at one point (even though she's saved, but she didn't know she would be), rather than doing the "girly girl" thing of cowering behind the hero and screaming in fear.
