Crossword Genius

Have a meal, entertaining a girl (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

diane

'girl' is the definition.

'have a meal entertaining a' is the wordplay.
'have a meal' becomes 'dine' (I've seen this before).
'entertaining' is an insertion indicator (inviting in, as for dinner).
'dine' enclosing 'a' is 'DIANE'.

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