Dine, entertaining a girl ... (5)
I believe the answer is:
diane
'girl' is the definition.
'dine entertaining a' is the wordplay.
'entertaining' indicates putting letters inside (inviting in, as for dinner).
'dine' enclosing 'a' is 'DIANE'.
(Another definition for diane that I've seen is " woman".)
