Grand Theft Auto IV/Dating Guide
From GameWiki
You can date again in Grand Theft Auto 4. The game gives you a total of five girlfriends.
It's now possible to see your 'score' before the date is finished - after you exit the restaurant/club, access the Start-menu, and check your progress in 'Player'. Your % can still drop while driving the girl back home though, so try to avoid getting arrested or kill anyone during the dates...
You can normally go for some action afterwards if your score with the girl is higher than 80% (check your stats when parked in car outside your girlfriend's house).
Any special ability gained through dating is only available to use one time per game day. If you try it more often, you're out of luck.
Michelle - Gained: Automatically through Story.
- Likes the Diner near the first safe house.
- Likes the Cluckin' Bell a few blocks from her house.
- Likes Niko in clothing from the Russian Store.
Kate - Gained: Automatically during Packie's missions.
- Kate is a casual girl that's easy to impress, likes darts and pool.
- Does not like fast food
- Prefers men wearing Modo
- Says Drusilla's is her favorite.
- Calling before 8:00 she is asleep.
- Even with 100% Fondness, don't bother trying your luck. She won't bite.
Kiki - Gained: Date Kiki by meeting at "love-meet.net" under username LAWCHICK.
- Special service: Kiki will be able to clear your wanted level (up to 3 stars) over the phone once a day. Certain missions will not allow her to remove your wanted level, even if it is under three stars. It's just part of the mission that you have to lose your level. She'll tell you though, so you won't be stuck wondering why it doesn't work sometimes.
- Does not like expensive clothing, bars, and restaurants.
- Kiki loves the comedy club and fancy cars.
- Calling before 6:00 she is asleep.
Carmen - Gained: Date Carmen by meeting at "love-meet.net" under username Sobohoe.
- Special service: Carmen will be able to heal you over the phone. This used to not work on my PS3, but I just updated to Version 2.36 and it works now. Wait. Cancel that. Right after the PS3 update, the Health Boost option worked one time, but never again since. Half health or flashing red health, it doesn't matter. No worky. Just updated to GTA4 Version 1.02 on 06.23.08 and it still doesn't work.
- Calling before 13:00 she is asleep.
- Likes the Burger Shot not far from her house, she says "it may not be classy, but it sure tastes good!"
- Taking Carmen to the Club, dressed in nice clothes with a fancy car gives 22% (if you make it home while drunk, otherwise she will complain.)
- She doesn't like the Turismo car.
- Carmen actually likes the Strip club, which is quite convenient. Taking her out to watch some titties will render you a whopping 18% increase. She doesn't like it when you bum rush the stage though ;)
- When dating Carmen time is of the essence. Be quick and focused, try to do all dates required in a clean sweep, otherwise you will get a message from her saying she don't want 'to wait for no man'.
- All she talks about is being flashy and dressed up, but I've never not seen her in a gray sweatsuit. Maybe it's cashmere?
- She likes to talk in third person. "Carmen got other people to hang out with" or "Carmen always gotta look her best".
- I took her on a date using a NRG-900RR. On the way home (with 100% fondness), I got hit by a car and she fell off. Niko didn't. She got back on the bike, but then stormed off. Her fondness dropped to 35% and her phone number disappeared from my cell phone.
- I stole a Police Car and she didn't like it. She waited till I broke in, sat in the seat, then complained and left.
- After the Police Car incident I was able to date her again by going through lovemeet.com
Alex - Gained: Date Alex by meeting on "craplist.net"
- Special service: Alex can arrange 50% discounts at clothing stores until current game day ends.
- Likes: Pegasus Suit and expensive cars like the Turismo. Liked my $2000 Perseus suit and Black Oxford shoes.
- Enjoys the downtown bar and the Comedy Club. Enjoys Superstar Cafe near her house.
- Didn't like my rare Sentinel XS, she said "I think I got one of these for my maid"
