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

This clue might be a double definition.

'enthusiastically' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'out with model i love you' is the second definition.
Both the answer and definition are adverbs. Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?

'make' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for heartily that I've seen before include "thoroughly" , "With gusto and without reservation" , "To a great degree" , "With vigour" , "Enthusiastically" .)
