I believe the answer is:

divine

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'heavenly' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)

'to dine out with a girl' is the wordplay.
'to dine out' becomes 'vine' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'a girl' becomes 'Di' (short for Diane or Diana).
'vine' put after 'di' is 'DIVINE'.

'is' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
