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

Method 1

Method 1 of 7:

Preparing to Date

1
Understand how dating works. 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
Keep in mind the "Progress" meter. 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.

Know how to prevent bad dates. 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
Know that you can date multiple women at once. 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
Know how a date works. 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
Avoid jealous girlfriends. 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
Lose or gain fat, muscle, and/or sex appeal. 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.

Method 2

Method 2 of 7:

Dating Denise

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
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
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.

Method 6 of 7:

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.

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
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
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.

8
Redeem your rewards. Dating Millie for long enough will unlock the following rewards for the pertinent progress bar ratings:

Community Q&A

Question

How do I make a girlfriend in GTA SA?

Community Answer

Type the cheat for sex appeal, or work to increase sex appeal: work out, have lots of money, have a good car, wear good clothes, have lots of muscles and have expensive tattoos and haircut.
Question

If I have all sex appeal, can I go out with anyone in GTA:SA?

Community Answer

Not anyone, just the dateable girls. However, there are curtain mods you can use to date any girl out there.
Question

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.

Warnings

Killing any of your girlfriends in-game will permanently remove them from the rest of the game unless you collect all 50 Oysters (Millie and Denise won't respawn).
