GTA San Andreas was the first title in this series where dating was added, allowing CJ to have a relationship with one out of six available girls. You may stumble upon female characters in the game, either during the main mission or random encounters.
GTA San Andreas girlfriends have various perks, as CJ will be able to get outfits, vehicles, and much more. Every single girl is unique and has different needs, so in order to get to know them better and reach a 100% relationship, we made this guide to help you out.
The two girls that you can date are parts of the main missions of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas called Burning Desire and Key to Her Heart, and completing these missions will begin a relationship with Denise and Millie. However, the other four GTA San Andreas girlfriends that you can date in this game are available at any moment and can be found across the game map.
To meet girls, look for the blue arrow above their heads. Approach them to start a conversation. If you want to increase your chances with a girl, hit the gym and buy some new clothes at the clothing store.
If you've got enough sex appeal, approaching the girl will begin a relationship. Otherwise, she'll reject you. Once you begin a relationship, you'll be able to find that girl easily by looking for the heart icon displayed on the map. Finally, everything that we’re going to reveal below also applies to Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy’s version of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, besides all other versions of this game.
Once you start a relationship, head to the girl's location and drive into the red marker, and the girl will come out, after which you'll have three available date options: drive, dance, or dinner. Now, each girl will have a specific taste, but most girls enjoy going out for a nice dinner. One way to do this is to head to any fast-food restaurant, bar, restaurant, or diner, and with enough successful dates, you'll increase the relationship status.
You'll be able to find them by markers displayed on the in-game map; for instance, a martini icon represents a bar, a knife and fork represents a restaurant, and so on.
Another option is to hit the dance floor at a club where you'll have to complete a rhythm-based mini-game in which you have to press arrows and follow the rhythm of the music. Keep in mind that if you don't perform well, it will anger your girl, while dancing well will make her happy. Every club in GTA San Andreas is marked on a map with a record icon.
Driving is a mini-game of sorts, as each girl has a preferred speed and an area where she likes to drive. Your job is to make her happy by driving as she wishes. The more you do this, the higher her fun bar rises, and the better your chances of going on a successful date become.
Finally, some girls will require special dates, which may include letting them drive or performing a drive-by on a rival gang. These activities will override any other type of date we mentioned above, and they are much faster compared to them.
Whether or not you have a successful date, you'll have to take the girl back to her place. Then, if everything goes smoothly, your relationship bar will increase by 5%, and with enough relationship levels, you may get an offer you won't refuse. You'll get a 10% relationship boost if you get invited to her place.
On the other hand, failing to have a decent date will lower the relationship bar by 5%. It's also worth mentioning that ignoring your girlfriend and not going on dates with her will make her call you, and this may even decrease your relationship bar, which is why you should regularly date a girl.
Lastly, we advise you to save a game every time before going on a date because if a mishap occurs and she dies, she'll be gone for good.
You can increase the relationship bar easily by giving your girlfriend a gift or a kiss. There are only three available gifts: a dildo, a vibrator, and flowers. You can find them anywhere on the map, then once you get on a date, simply select a gift and press TAB on your keyboard (or L1/LB).
This will activate a cutscene in which CJ presents his boo a gift, and once it ends, press the same button again to go for a kiss.
The following section will show you how to date each particular girl, what her preferences are, what rewards you may expect from every single one, and pretty much everything you need to know about dating in GTA San Andreas.
Denise is the first date you'll ever get in GTA San Andreas because she plays a crucial part in a mission called Burning Desire. Without spoiling the mission, let's just say that completing it will make her ask you if you want to hang out again, and it's up to you whether you'll accept her invitation or not.
Denise is a part of Grove Street, where she lives, and she also serves as a tutorial in which you'll learn about dating in this game (and maybe in real life too).
Unlike other girls that you'll meet later, Denise isn't too picky, so you don't have to be buffed and wear expensive outfits. You can take her anywhere you want, but you should always avoid crossing any bridge and heading to the East part of Los Santos, as her happiness will drop since she prefers local hangouts.
In addition, Denise may randomly ask you to go on a special date we previously mentioned, including performing a drive-by on rival gangs. Make sure that she's able to kill many gang members because this will increase her happiness, and it will boost your relationship level too.

Katie is a girl from downtown San Fierro, one of two that you can date in that location. Apparently, she is a medical worker, so dating her may get you various health-related perks. You'll find her doing yoga in Avispa Country Club, although her house is near the Gant Bridge.
However, before you approach her, make sure that CJ is buffed, as she won't even look at you if you're skinny or fat. Once you begin dating her, remember that she doesn't like fast driving but enjoys dinners. If you decide to take her on a driving date, head to the Gant Bridge and watch out for her fun meter - you'll notice how quickly it will increase.

Another potential girlfriend material from San Fierro, and you'll find Michelle inside the driving school. However, unlike the previous girls, Michelle will actually want CJ to look a bit chubby, so make sure to meet that criteria before approaching her.
Once you start dating her, the best approach is to take her on a drive date and drive at high speed; since she works at a driving school, she likes fast rides. You won't need to stray far, though, as you can ride around Doherty - anywhere close to CJ's auto shop.
Keep in mind that Michelle will often ask you to let her drive and begin a special date. This is also the most straightforward form of a date, as all you'll need is a couple of minutes of patience while she's taking you for a ride, literally. You can do nothing to make this date fail except jump out of a moving car.
Once the date's over, she'll return to the auto shop, and your relationship bar will increase.

The only desert chance for romance is Barbara, and you'll find her right outside the El Quebrados PD. The only way she'll approach CJ is if he's overweight, after which you'll get a prompt asking you to dance with her. Then, once you begin a relationship with Barbara, you'll always need to pick her up in front of the El Quebrados police station.
Her favorite dates are going to diners, and you should pay attention while driving her and not drive too slow or too fast. Since she enjoys driving dates, you won't have any issues with filling the fun bar, as El Quebrados is a small town. Therefore, drive around in circles, and you'll have a successful date.
Eventually, she'll ask you to take her to a club, and the closest one near her location is a club in Las Venturas. Unfortunately, this is the worst option, since it's quite far away and it will take a lot of your time. That's why we recommend saving the game before going to pick her up, just in case this occurs, as there are much faster ways to increase the relationship bar with her.

If you plan on completing the main missions in GTA San Andreas, this means that you'll have a guaranteed opportunity to date Millie, as she is a part of the Key to Her Heart mission. In essence, once you complete this level, she'll ask you to go out on a date, which you must accept if you wish to proceed with the missions, as she is also a part of the heist mission chain (we don't want to spoil anything for you).
You'll need to increase the relationship bar to 35%, which you can do in no time. Her favorite dates are going to restaurants, and should you take her on a driving date, just circle around her neighborhood, which she enjoys a lot.
Like other girls, Millie also has a special date activity, and you can take advantage of this to speed up increasing the relationship bar with her.

Finally, the sixth girl you can date in GTA San Andreas is Helena, who's also the most demanding when it comes to increasing the relationship bar. You'll find her at the rooftop of the Ammu Nation in Blueberry, shooting targets. This lawyer will require CJ to be skinny and to have a high sex appeal before approaching her.
This means that if CJ is currently ripped, you need to stop eating in order to become skinny again, just like during the first mission on a bicycle. Once you start dating her, head to her farmhouse and take her on a dinner date at a fancy restaurant, which she loves. While doing so, make sure to drive at an average speed, which will keep her happy.
One of the reasons she's the most demanding girl to please in GTA San Andreas is that her farm is far from any city or town, so you'll need to drive a lot.

You can get a Home Run achievement by having a go with any of the six GTA San Andreas girlfriends. However, the easiest way to accomplish this won't require dating a girl and increasing the relationship stats. In fact, once you get to the "Key to Her Heart" mission, you'll be invited to Millie's house.
After doing the business, you'll automatically get an achievement. But keep in mind that you should not have any active GTA San Andreas cheats, as using them will disable achievements and trophies.
