Yes... And no.
From my experience, it is pretty common, but it may be dependent of many variables(like the culture/country, how much of a "crazy-homophobe-who-thinks-anything-will-turn-them-gay" the girl/lady happens to be, if the girl/lady is too shy/carefree, how close they are to each other, and so and so).
In the end, its a matter if they feel comfortable with it.
