This wikiHow teaches you how to date all 6 women in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.

Things You Should Know

  • There are 6 dateable women in GTA: San Andreas. Complete their prerequisite challenges, alter your physique to their liking, and then talk to them to start dating.
  • Go on a date whenever you’re in your girlfriend's geographical area. Drive at the speed she likes and take her to her favorite restaurant or dance club.
  • To date multiple women, go on a date with one before pursuing another. Use the “Progress” bar to see how well you’re winning each woman over.

Preparing to Date

PDF download Download Article
  1. In Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, you can date a total of 6 women. Most of the women have prerequisite challenges that you must complete before you can date them.
    • 2 of the women—Denise and Millie—are encountered during story quests, but the other 4 women must actively be sought out.
  2. Once you're dating a woman, you can increase a "Progress" meter by going on successful dates, dancing, driving carefully, and so on.
    • Once the progress meter reaches the 50 percent mark, you'll unlock a perk exclusive to dating the current woman; the 100 percent mark will unlock another perk.
    • The progress meter will decrease if you go on a bad date or if you abandon or harm the woman. It will also decrease if you leave the woman's geographical area, re-enter it, and don't go on a date with her before leaving again.

  3. Each woman has different preferences, including favorite restaurants, preferred driving speeds, and acceptable neighborhoods to be in. Taking her to her favorite restaurant, completing various mini-games, and avoiding going over her preferred speed or driving through unacceptable neighborhoods will ensure that you have a good date.
    • Abandoning your date will count against your progress with the woman.
  4. Feasibly, you can date all 6 women at the same time without negative repercussions; you just have to remember to go on at least one date one any time you enter her geographical area.
    • For example, if you're dating both Helena (Flint County) and Katie (San Fierro), you would have to go on a date with Katie if you enter San Fierro from a different location, and you would have to go on a date with Helen after entering Flint County.
  5. When you go to pick up your girlfriend, she will suggest one of three dates: dining, driving, or dancing. You'll then have to take her to the right place depending on her preferred locations.
  6. Jealous girlfriends occur if you begin dating more than one woman without taking either of them on a date; if a jealous girlfriend catches you with another woman, you will lose progress with the jealous girlfriend. You can force jealous girlfriends to stop appearing by doing one of the following things: [1]
    • Going on a date with your first girlfriend before pursuing another woman.
    • Evading a jealous girlfriend in a car chase long enough to force her to despawn.
    • Get caught once by a jealous girlfriend.
  7. The 4 non-story women who you can date will have different body type requirements which may require your character to raise or lower their "Fat", "Muscle", and "Sex Appeal" characteristics: [2]
    • You can gain fat by eating fast food (e.g., Cluckin' Bell) and not exercising for several days in a row. Fat can be lost by not eating and/or by exercising for several days in a row.
    • Muscle can be gained by lifting weights (1% increase per repetition) or running on a treadmill (1% increase per 14 seconds). It can be lost by failing to eat for several days in a row.
    • Sex Appeal is mostly measured by your character's garments and how expensive they are, but muscle percentage, car appearance, and tattoos also help.

Dating Denise

  1. 1
    Play the Burning Desire quest. Unlike the 4 non-quest women who you can date in GTA San Andreas, Denise doesn't have any prerequisites other than completing the "Burning Desire" request.
    • After setting the house on fire, you'll see Denise asking for help; run inside the house to rescue Denise.
  2. 2
    Wait for the right time to visit. Denise is home between the hours of 4:00 PM (16:00) and 6:00 AM (06:00). Visiting her house during these hours will allow you to strike up a conversation with her.
  3. 3
    Find Denise. You can find Denise at her house in Ganton near Grove Street; it will have a green Hustler car parked out front if you visit during the right time. [3]
    • Visiting Denise will allow you to initiate a date.
  4. 4
    Know Denise's driving preferences. While she doesn't mind how fast or slow you drive, Denise prefers to stay close to Ganton and Idlewood (e.g., near her home) and does not appreciate driving through rural or rich areas.
    • In particular, avoid driving around Red County or Flint County with Denise.
  5. 5
    Take Denise to one of her favorite restaurants. She likes eating at the following locations: [4]
    • Cluckin' Bell
    • The Well Stacked Pizza Co.
    • Ten Green Bottles
  6. 6
    Go dancing with Denise. Denise enjoys the Alhambra club in Idlewood. Keep in mind that you can also take her on a dinner date here since there is a bar.
  7. 7
    Indulge Denise's alternative date. If Denise asks you for permission to perform a drive-by on a local gang, accepting her request will count as a successful date.
  8. 8
    Increase Denise's progress bar. Each successful date will increase the progress bar by 5 percent; once you reach around 40 percent, Denise will begin to invite you in for coffee.
  9. 9
    Redeem your rewards. Dating Denise for long enough will unlock the following rewards for the pertinent progress bar ratings:
    • 50 percent - You can begin driving Denise's Hustler.
    • 100 percent - Denise gives you a custom suit.

    Know Helena's driving preferences. She prefers slow driving in rural and affluent areas of the city. The easiest way to complete this kind of date is by driving slowly around her farm.

    • Remember to drive slowly on your way to this restaurant.

    • Try to aim for 50 percent muscle before talking to Katie.
  2. 2
    Know where to find Katie. Katie is most often found in the northeast corner of the Avispa Country Club; this is where you'll want to approach her initially.
  3. 3

  4. 4
    Know Katie's driving preferences. Katie likes to drive near the shoreline (e.g., below the Gant Bridge or in the Bayside area), and she prefers an average driving speed.
    • Katie will sometimes encourage you to drive faster, but doing so will cause her Fun meter to drop.
  5. 5
    Take Katie dancing. She prefers to go to the Gaydar Station club since it's the closest to her house.
  6. 6
    Take Katie to a diner. If requested, Katie prefers to go to diners such as the Paradiso Diner restaurant.
    • Avoid fast food with Katie.
  7. 7

Dating Millie

PDF download Download Article
  1. 1
    Play the Key to Her Heart quest. Unlike the 4 non-quest women who you can date in GTA San Andreas, Millie doesn't have any physical requirements; however, you'll need to complete the Key to Her Heart quest to start dating her.
  2. 2
    Wait for the right time to visit. Millie is home (and dateable) between the hours of 12:00 PM (12:00) and 10:00 PM (22:00).
  3. 3
    Approach Millie. Go to Millie's home in Prickle Pine, Las Venturas during the time at which she is home. This will prompt a date request.
  4. 4
    Know Millie's driving preferences. Millie doesn't have picky driving preferences, so maintaining an average speed while driving in circles around her neighborhood will be enough to fulfill a driving date.
  5. 5
    Take Millie to one of her favorite restaurants. Millie enjoys restaurants rather than fast food; you can take her to the Steakhouse that's to the southwest of her house.
  6. 6
    Go dancing with Millie. She enjoys the club closest to her house. As Millie isn't particularly difficult to impress due to being a quest requirement, you shouldn't have to score very highly on the mini-game.

    Increase Millie's progress bar. Each successful date will increase the progress bar by 5 percent; once you reach around 40 percent, Millie will begin to invite you in for coffee.

    How do you ask her for date?
    Community Answer
    To ask, go to any girlfriend's house and stand there according to the proper time. If a red circle appears, stand on it and take her with Carl to any food shop.
