Love in the Time of Crime: How to Get a Girlfriend in GTA 5

There are many elements in GTA that are designed aiming to improve the realism of the game. One of them is definitely the ability to date and form relationships. While previously released GTA titles had a much better dating system compared to the one found in GTA V, it's still better than nothing. So if you're looking to start dating in GTA V and form a relationship, this article will show you how to accomplish that.

How To Start Dating in GTA 5?

There are three different ways to get a girlfriend in this game; the first two methods can be used in the single-player story mode, while the third method can be used in GTA Online.

How To Get a Girlfriend in GTA 5 Story Mode In The Strip Club?

Getting a girlfriend in the single-player story mode of GTA 5 requires you to become familiar with your stripper's likes and dislikes, then attempt to match them. You can increase your girl's "like" level by paying for dances and hitting on her. Here is a guide on how to start dating a stripper:

1. Visit the strip club: The only strip club in GTA 5 where you can actually enter is Vanilla Unicorn, so make sure to get there first. In addition, Trevor can buy this strip club near the game's end, which will make visiting it much easier.

2. Get to the dancefloor: If you walk towards the dance floor of a strip club in GTA V, the club's dancers (strippers) will come up to you and invite you to join them in a private room. To do so, you'll need to pay them $40. Once you've paid, you'll be able to receive a topless private dance in one of the rooms at the back of the club.

3. Start flirting with her: As the stripper starts doing what she knows best, you will need to increase her like the meter found at the bottom of the screen by flirting with her. However, there's a catch; you should get too pushy, or else she'll call the bouncers, who will warn you about your behavior. If you get three "strikes" from them, you'll immediately get kicked out of the strip club. However, once Trevor purchases Vanilla Unicorn, this will no longer apply, and you'll be able to be more "touchy" with strippers without backlash.
4. Fill up the like bar: As soon as you manage to increase the like meter, you'll be able to go to her place. Just follow the prompts on the screen to get her into a car, then follow the GPS route, which will take you to her place. Then, you'll get invited for a "Coffee". Once you do, you'll get her number added as your new phone contact.

Congratulations, you now have a virtual girlfriend in the game! Although it's not like having a real-life partner, it's still an exciting accomplishment. You can contact her at night, as she will not be available during the day. 

How To Get A Girlfriend in GTA 5 Via Side Missions?

In addition to dating ”exotic dancers” in Grand Theft Auto 5, you can also date two other women through missions. These women are Elisa Macallen and Ursula, who can be found in Private Fares and Random Encounters side missions, respectively. You can only date Ursula if Trevor is your character. However, Franklin is the only one that can date both of them. Since Michael is a married man, he cannot date these women.

How To Date Elisa

In order to date Elisa, you must first buy a Downtown Cab Co. with Franklin and complete the Private Fares side missions. One of the calls you'll get will be requested from Alonzo, her current boyfriend, who mistreats her. Once you pick him up at the university and take him to the place where Elisa is stranded in front of on the road, Franklin will begin flirting with her.

Alonzo then pulls Franklin out of the taxi and attacks him, which causes Elisa to realize that she no longer wants to be with him. She asks you to take her to a friend's house, from which she'll give you her number. You will then be able to call her from time to time.

How To Date Ursula

First, select Franklin or Trevor and head to the North Calafia Way. More precisely, this is south of Mount Chiliad, and that's where you'll find her. She'll ask you to take her back to her place, but if you play as Trevor, you may also take her to the Altruist Cult and get $1000 as a reward for "you know what."

In any case, if you decide to take her home, you'll soon realize that she is, in fact, mentally unstable, and based on your current character, you'll make a specific comment. Franklin will say that she's crazy and become distant, while Trevor will say the same thing, but he'll become closer to her since they are quite similar.

Once you take her home, you'll get her number (regardless of the character), and if you pay close attention, you'll notice that she'll stand behind your car to take a photo of the license plate. Believe us; you don't want to deal with girls like this, not even in GTA 5. 

Getting a Girlfriend in GTA Online

In terms of gf in GTA Online, the whole process is different than one from story mode. However, the general steps are pretty much the same. The main prerequisite is to reach Rank 6 and unlock the strip club, before getting a girlfriend in GTA Online. You can visit the strip club whenever you receive a text message. To successfully pursue a stripper, it's important to ensure no bouncers are nearby. 

You can increase the "like bar" by "making it rain" during her pole dance, holding her during a lap dance, or flirting with her using the microphone. Remember that the like meter will reset each session, so you'll need to continue increasing it every time you visit the strip club. Once you fill-up the like bar, you'll get the stripper's phone number. If you have a luxurious place, she may even visit and give you lap dances. 

Although dating in GTA 5 is far less complex than dating in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, where you even have several choices of potential dates, it can still be entertaining and improve your gameplay experience for a bit.
