Crossword Genius

Dine, entertaining a girl ... (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

diane

'girl' is the definition.

'dine entertaining a' is the wordplay.
'entertaining' is an insertion indicator (inviting in, as for dinner).
'dine' going around 'a' is 'DIANE'.

(Another definition for diane that I've seen is " woman".)
