“So, you don't know many people here in Liberty City. No boyfriends or husbands or anything?”
Michelle:
“No, I guess I'm married to my job.”

First Date is a mission in Grand Theft Auto IV, given to Niko Bellic by his new girlfriend Michelle from her apartment in Rotterdam Hill, Broker, Liberty City.
Description
[edit | edit source]Visiting Michelle
[edit | edit source]Niko will receive a call from Michelle (or to save time, Niko can call her) asking to go on a date. On the way, Roman will probably call to ask for help (triggering the mission Bleed Out). The player can put their phone on sleep mode if they don't want to be interrupted. If the player chooses to proceed with the date rather than rescue Roman, the Bleed Out mission will be deferred until later, though a slightly different course of events will transpire. When Niko arrives at Michelle's place, a cutscene tutors the player on dating girlfriends and doing activities with male friends. Niko gets a brief view of Michelle's clean house then the two get into Michelle's car.
Driving Michelle
[edit | edit source]The player must drive to the carnival on Firefly Island by following the GPS route and be careful not to damage Michelle's car too much.
Go Bowling
[edit | edit source]Michelle notes that the carnival is closed for repairs and is turning into a Las Venturas style theme park, suggesting the two play a few frames of bowling. Go down the walkway and play game of bowling.
The player must play a full or half match with Michelle. Niko does not necessarily have to win the bowling game, or even complete it. Michelle will say something different, depending on how the match ends.
Driving back to the apartment
[edit | edit source]After the match ends, the player leads Michelle back to her car.
If the drive home is successful, Michelle says she had a great time and is interested in more dates with Niko. Following the completion of the mission, if Niko chooses to ignore Roman's earlier phone call, Niko will receive a second phone call from Roman, which will lead to a variation of the Bleed Out mission.
Objectives
[edit | edit source]- Take Michelle to the carnival.
- Go bowling with Michelle.

[edit | edit source]Trivia
[edit | edit source]- If the player decides to save Roman Bellic in Bleed Out prior to this mission, the topic of the conversation between Niko and Michelle in the car will initially focus on why Niko missed his initial appointment with Michelle as well as Roman's dealings.
- If the player turns on "Sleep Mode" and proceeds to play the mission, Niko will not receive Roman's phone call about Bledar and Kalem cornering him on the basketball court. After completing the mission, Roman will still call the player, asking to be picked up from the hospital and berating Niko for choosing to date Michelle over rescuing him.
- Little Jacob, Patrick McReary and Dusty Cowpoke cameo during the introductory sequence of the mission explaining friendships and girlfriends. Little Jacob can be seen eating in front of a Burger Shot and selling arms from the back of his car, Patrick is depicted setting off a car bomb, while Dusty Cowpoke is seen walking out of Perestroika (with a cowboy hat).
- When Jacob is seen eating in front of the Burger Shot in Beechwood City, he is not wearing his usual clothing, but the clothing he wears at Roman's wedding and the final storyline mission. This was probably supposed to be Jacob's original outfit. He also wears a similar outfit when he is seen selling weapons in the tutorial video, albeit now donning a white jacket instead.
- The bowling alley marks the border between the neighborhoods of Firefly Island and Beachgate. However, since the carnival is in Firefly, the bowling alley is said to be in Firefly as well.
- This is the earliest moment in the game to unlock the trophy/achievement "Gobble Gobble" by scoring a turkey in bowling against Michelle.
- It's possible to play pool and/or darts with Michelle if Niko decides not to play the bowling, but doing so may cause glitches.
- Michelle runs off screaming if Niko repeatedly damages her car, but if not, she allows Niko to keep the car at the end of the mission.
- Michelle will tolerate one or two wanted stars as long as the police aren't shooting at the player. Visiting the restricted area at the airport (thus gaining four stars) or trying to cross into Algonquin (thus gaining six stars) will cause her to instantly end the date. Michelle will also be scared off if Niko is punched by a pedestrian.
- Michelle will ride in vehicles other than her own car, but will be scared if Niko pulls someone out of a car in order to hijack it.
- In the original release, any vehicle that Niko arrives to the mission with will be lost. This was fixed in the PC version, where the vehicle will remain parked outside of Michelle's house.
