GTA San Andreas girlfriends and how to go on the perfect date
Where to meet all six GTA San Andreas girlfriends and get some hot coffee
GTA San Andreas girlfriends are various female characters you can meet during the game and develop relationships with, to unlock vehicles, outfits, and other benefits to make your virtual life easier. The Grand Theft Auto San Andreas girlfriends were a source of great controversy when the game originally launched, as cut content of CJ being invited in for "some coffee" to initiate a sex minigame was reinstated using the infamous Hot Coffee mod, leading to the ESRB rating increasing from Mature to Adults Only and calls for the game to be banned entirely. Rockstar was able to resolve this issue with patches to remove the content completely, though there are still plenty of references to CJ having "coffee" with girlfriends once their relationship level is high enough.
Dating GTA San Andreas girlfriends does not count towards 100% completion, so other than the interactions required to progress the story you don't actually need to engage in these relationships, however some do provide useful rewards for progression. When your relationship level gets to between 35-50% a vehicle reward is received, while reaching 100% will earn you a new outfit, and other benefits such as free vehicle repairs or not losing your weapons when wasted or busted can also be conferred depending on your girlfriend's profession.
Some Grand Theft Auto San Andreas girlfriends have particular preferences for how CJ looks, though these can mainly be overruled if you've collected all of the GTA San Andreas oysters already, and they also have certain requirements for experiencing a good date, whether you're going dancing, driving, or dining out with them. If you want to know where to find them, how to gain their favor, and what rewards you'll receive for taking your relationship to the next level, then here's all of the information on the GTA San Andreas girlfriends.
