Hello,
What does the word keeper mean in this sentence?
From all guys she has dated this one is the keeper.
(That's not how exactly they said it, but I cannot find the scene anymore.)

Is keeper in this case a bad or a good word?
I tried to use some dicts but I don't see the sense.

Ah and what is correct?

It means that she is interested in continuing her relationship with him.

Not a teacher.

Think about fishing. You catch a fish -- it's too small. You throw it back. You catch the next fish -- it's big enough. You keep it. That second fish is "a keeper."

Now think of it as a metaphor for dating. It's not that they are too small or large enough, but good enough so you don't want to throw that one back and try to hook another.
