Girlfriends in GTA IV: Difference between revisions

The ability to date girlfriends, first introduced in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, returns in Grand Theft Auto IV. Like in GTA San Andreas, two of the girlfriends are introduced during the storyline. The other three girlfriends are met online from the dating websites, as www.lovemeet.net and www.craplist.net.

Aside from the amusing interactions between Niko Bellic and the women he dates, there can be several in-game benefits to starting a relationship with any of the dateable characters. Putting in a little bit of time to raise the fondness of the girlfriends can unlock their "special abilities": these can help in particularly difficult missions late in the game.

Like the other relationships that Niko has with his friends in GTA IV, favor can be gained with girlfriends by taking them to different venues around the city. Unlike the male friends, however, dating is more than just worrying about the venue. To have a successful date, Niko must cater to the women's tastes in three areas; clothing, vehicle, and how fancy the date is. Each woman has different tastes and will respond accordingly.

Reaching 100% fondness with all five girlfriends is not required to achieve 100% completion of the game.

After the mission Out of the Closet for Brucie Kibbutz, dates can be set up online through www.love-meet.net or www.craplist.net. 12-24 in-game hours after contacting the girl, she sends Niko an email. The date and time of the first date will be added to the organizer in Niko's phone. The first date is very important, as it will determine whether or not the girlfriend will give Niko her phone number so he can continue dating her. If an Internet girlfriend's fondness is raised to a high enough level, her "special ability" is unlocked.

If Niko Bellic has a bad date or does not ask to come inside, the girl dumps Niko. However, wait a few in-game days and they reappear on the site so Niko can try again. When Niko meets a girlfriend again after being dumped or dumping her, they will act as if they had never met him. Sometimes when using "Try your Luck", they won't let Niko come in, but if one of them does, they will still share a kiss before they go back in.

As Carmen lives in Bohan, she can be dated immediately after Out of the Closet. However, as they live in Algonquin, Kiki and Alexandra cannot be dated until Algonquin is unlocked in Blow Your Cover.

When taking girlfriends on dates Niko will have to pay depending on the chosen venue. The payment amount is identical for all girlfriends, no matter if she likes it or not. When it comes to Drinking and Eating you can choose between cheaper options like fast food or local bars and bigger more expensive restaurants or high end bars.

Not every girlfriend can be taken to every venue (as listed in the table below), either because they don't like it, or in Michelle's case, cannot be taken to restaurants in Alderney (Mr. Fuk's Rice Box, Pizza This...).

Main Article: Booty Call

There are ten "girlfriends" that Luis Lopez can have in The Ballad of Gay Tony. Luis is able to dance with them in the clubs and if he does well they'll bring Luis to the restrooms for an encounter, after which they may give Luis their number. Afterwards, they can be contacted, or may contact Luis, for a "booty call". There are ten Luis "girlfriends" including:

• Domino
• Cindy
• Jojo
• Tania
• Vikky
• Lily
• Taylor
• Ana
• Tami
• Dana

• A glitch in the game can make any vehicle damage proof by scaring Niko's date right when she gets in the vehicle (however, these properties can randomly disappear at any time). To do the trick, fire a weapon when Niko's date gets in the car (wait for both door-opening and seating animations to pass). Or, with a helicopter, snap off the blades at a height where Niko's girlfriend can get hurt but won't die.
• Another glitch in the game will make Niko drive one-handed if he says goodbye after a successful date instead of asking to come inside. Niko's right arm will be at his side, usually clipping through parts of the car in between the seats. To rectify this, make Niko call someone or get out and back in the car.
