First Date is also the name of a mission in GTA San Andreas.

First Date is a mission in Grand Theft Auto IV given to protagonist Niko Bellic by Michelle from her apartment. The mission is one of the two options given to the player, the other being "Bleed Out".

Mission

Niko receives a phone call from Michelle asking him to go out on a date. When Niko arrives at ther apartment, he comments to Michelle her house is very clean, and she asks him where he is taking her. Niko suggests the "funfair", to which Michelle accepts. The two get in Michelle's car and drive to Firefly Island, talking about what made Niko leave his country and what is Michelle's job.

Michelle notes that the carnival is closed for repairs and suggests the two play a few frames of bowling. The two walk to the bowling alley and play a game of bowling. When they finish, they get back to the apartment and Michelle tells Niko she is interested in more dates with him.

Reward

The player does not receive any rewards other being able to date Michelle.

Trivia

Little Jacob, Patrick McReary and Dusty Cowpoke cameo during the introductory sequence of the mission explaining friendships and girlfriends in GTA IV. 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).
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 Firefly as well.
If the player quits the bowling game even before it starts, Michelle will just say something like "shame we couldn't finish that game" and still remain happy with the date.
Despite the mission instructing the player to take Michelle to Firefly Island, playing any sort of activity will suffice for the mission; for instance, playing pool at the Homebrew Cafe.
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 points any weapon at Michelle's head, she will just crouch but remain happy, however when Niko fires the gun, Michelle flees (but eventually meets with Niko for him to apologize to her).
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.
During the cutscene Michelle said, that she likes things clean, when Niko asked her about the tags on stuff in her place.
You can tell how well the date is going by the type of excuse Michelle will come up with for why the carnival is closed.

-You can't go on the date itself until you get some new threads- see the Bonus Advice in "Easy Fare" for elaboration on that. So go get a hat or something, then drive over to Michelle's and ring her up. Note that while you can ring her up on this from just about anywhere in the city, it's a good idea to do so only after you're near her house, since if you take more than an hour to get there you'll have stood her up, and her disposition towards you will take a hit. Calling her to inform her you can't make it before the hour is up will soften the hit, but it's best to just wait right nearby so you can roll right onto the mission marker.

-At any rate. Hit up the mission marker and watch the cutscene to get a preemptive hint on your next destination- you may have already noticed the "funfair" while driving around in Hove Beach. Follow your GPS to the spot, only to find (from Michelle) that Firefly Island is closed this time of year (the dialogue may vary). Michelle suggests the bowling alley nearby as a viable alternative, and it's good advice. Walk there now, then sign up for a game. Any empty lane will serve.

-Play five frames of Bowling (the game should give you advice on how to play, and it becomes decently intuitive after a little while), then head back to the car and drive Michelle home.

-A few things. First off, as regards the Bonus Advice in "Easy Fare", getting only one item of clothing at first is a good idea. Michelle has a particular favorite outfit she likes for you, but this varies from game to game. Getting only one new item at the start and then switching it up will work wonders, as on every subsequent date she will note what she likes or dislikes about your outfit. Use this advice to compile a "favorite outfit" for her (Not necessary, but every little bump helps). Note that this applies to all the Girlfriend missions- guy friends don't really care what you wear, though they will note your car.

-About that: each girl or guy friend has a favorite car type or luxury level, and will so state it if you change cars between meets (see Girlfriends for some information on car preferences). Hence, if you're working on one particular person's disposition, it may be a good idea to find a car they like and then store it somewhere so you always have that car to use.

-All girlfriends and guy friends have certain things they like or dislike to do. Girls tend towards comedy, cabaret, restaurants, and sports (E.G. Split Sides Comedy in Alongquin, Perestroika in Broker, and all the pool/darts/bowling things). Guys tend to like sports, drinking, and always, ALWAYS, the strip clubs. While it's usually a bad idea to take a girl to the game's two strip clubs for a date, this approach will work wonders with guy friend dispositions- two or three trips should get you 100% and their perk. Michelle isn't particular about anything, so use your dates with her to familiarize yourself with the city's nightlife.

-Finally, Michelle herself. Getting her to 100% disposition doesn't earn any perks like with other girl or guy friends, making it not really necessary to do so unless you're going for the 100% completion, but she is the easiest to get to like you and hence the easiest track to the "Warm Coffee" achievement (if you're playing this on the 360). Note that you must do this before the "Snow Storm" mission later on in the game- that may seem far off right now, but it'll come at you like a freight train, so work on getting Michelle on your good side while you can. Also, note that she has some rather odd pillow talk- you'll see where that comes from later.
