Encontrei uma definição bem interessante para "the girl next door":
A expressão no contexto acima é utilizada em vários filmes.Every guy may have his specific girl-next-door prototype, but in general, she's the girl whom you always admired from afar and were afraid to approach, fearing that any erotic projection toward her would ruin her image as a decent, pure and almost virginal womanly ideal.

"The girl next door" significa a imagem de uma garota ordinária, amistosa, carinhosa. Insulto? Não é, a menos que ela é egoista.
