The ability to date '''[[girlfriends]]''', 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 [[Plot in GTA IV|storyline]]. The other three girlfriends are met [[Internet in GTA IV|online]] from the dating [[Websites in GTA IV|websites]], as [[Love-meet.net|www.lovemeet.net]] and [[Craplist.net|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 women of [[Liberty City in GTA IV|Liberty City]]. Putting in a little bit of time to raise the fondness of certain women can unlock their "special abilities"; these can help in particularly difficult missions later on. One of the girlfriends can remove a wanted level, another one can heal [[health]] and so on.

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 [[Friendships in GTA IV|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 in GTA IV|clothing]], [[Vehicles in GTA IV|vehicle]], and how fancy the date is. Each woman has different tastes and will respond accordingly.

Each woman has different tastes and will respond accordingly. (However, wearing the wrong clothing or having the wrong car doesn't actually result in a date failing, only that the girlfriend makes negative (or snide) comments.) Assuming no failed dates, Niko can usually get to enjoy "coffee" (i.e. a sexual encounter) with the girlfriend at the conclusion of the second date, with the exception of Kate, who will never allow the relationship to reach that point no matter how many times she is dated.


Reaching 100% fondness with all five girlfriends is not required to achieve [[100% Completion in GTA IV|100% completion]] in the game.

There is a trick that if you scare your girlfriend right when she gets in the car, your car with be everythingproofed. This is true, but there's a catch: sometimes the properties will go away for unknown reasons (this is true with Kate.) The way you do this with a vehicle is to shoot a bullet when your girlfriend gets in the car (wait for both cutscenes to pass!) With a chopper, you're supposed to snap off the blades at a height where your girlfriend will get hurt (but shouldn't kill her, as well) on impact. It is unknown whether this is a glitch, or something [[Rockstar Games|Rockstar]] to implemented, but with something being this easy, it's highly unlikely.
A glitch in the game can make any vehicle damage proof by scaring Niko's date right when she gets in the car (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). With a helicopter, snap off the blades at a height where Niko's girlfriend can get hurt but won't die.

Girlfriends in GTA IV
ADVERTISEMENT

The ability to date girlfriends, 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 datable 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. (However, wearing the wrong clothing or having the wrong car doesn't actually result in a date failing, only that the girlfriend makes negative (or snide) comments.) Assuming no failed dates, Niko can usually get to enjoy "coffee" (i.e. a sexual encounter) with the girlfriend at the conclusion of the second date, with the exception of Kate, who will never allow the relationship to reach that point no matter how many times she is dated.

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

Storyline Girlfriends

Michelle

Michelle
Michelle

Michelle is introduced by Mallorie Bardas during the mission Three's a Crowd. After completing this mission, Niko is told to purchase some clothes from the Russian clothing store (to impress Michelle), after which he can call her to set up a date.

  • Vehicle Preference: Michelle likes almost any vehicle, excluding police cars, trucks, and beaters.
  • Venue Preference: Michelle likes any venue, though her favorites are bowling, darts, pool, the Burger Shot restaurant, diners, and the Cluckin' Bell restaurant.

Notes

  • To achieve 100% fondness with Michelle, be sure to achieve that goal before the mission The Snow Storm, after which you will not be able to date her anymore. Note: perhaps due to a glitch it is sometimes not possible to raise her fondness above 98% in the PS3 version. Due to the revelations in The Snow Storm, Michelle actually cannot be dumped and will not dump Niko.

Alex Chilton (LiberatedWoman)

Alex Chilton

As the game doesn't meniotn Craplist as a potential resource for dates (only Love-Meet.net is so promoted), Alex could be considered an easter egg.
Preferences

Special Ability
  • Store Discount: Allows Niko to call Alex to get a 50% discount from all clothing stores for the next 24 in game hours.

Notes

  • A few dates at Split Sides should raise Alex's fondness quickly.
  • Niko can check her blog titled 'Liberated Woman' at www.blogsnobs.org. She often talks about her relationship and sex life with Niko, so the blog serves as a report on the outcomes of their dates.

A glitch in the game can make any vehicle damage proof by scaring Niko's date right when she gets in the car (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). With a helicopter, snap off the blades at a height where Niko's girlfriend can get hurt but won't die.

Notes

  • One possible activity for all girlfriends is going for drinks. While Michelle does not get drunk, the other girlfriends will (leading to some humorous comments and animations). See the "Drinking" section in Friendships in GTA IV for special cautions and tips regarding this activity, which is potentially hazardous and relationship-ending.
