1
Go to the Vanilla Unicorn strip club. Unlike in GTA IV, the only way to have a "girlfriend" in GTA V is by interacting with one of the stripper non-playable characters (NPCs) in the Vanilla Unicorn. You can find the Vanilla Unicorn next to the Olympic Freeway in Strawberry, Los Santos.^{[1]

- The Vanilla Unicorn is marked by a high-heel shoe on your minimap.
Find someone in the club to whom you want to talk and walk up to her. When you're close enough, she will ask if you want a private dance.^{[2]

Accept the dance. When prompted, press the key or button that appears on-screen to accept a private dance from the woman.
- Private dances cost $40 in-game. If you have less than $40, you won't be prompted to accept the dance.
4
Use the "Touch" and "Flirt" options. When the bouncer isn't watching you, hold the "Touch" key or button to begin filling up the "Like" bar. If the bouncer is watching you, you can repeatedly press the "Flirt" button or key to increase the "Like" bar's progress in small increments.
- Use the "Touch" option whenever the bouncer isn't looking at you.
5
Avoid the bouncer. The bouncer will periodically walk by, stop, turn, and look into the private room for a few seconds before leaving again. Make sure that you don't touch the woman while he's looking at you.^{[3]

- If the bouncer sees you use the "Touch" option three times, you will be thrown out of the club, at which point you will have to re-enter the club and try again.
6
Fill up the "Like" bar before the dance ends. If you're able to fill up the bar before the end of the dance, the woman will mention that she wants you to join her at her house.
- If you don't manage to fill up the "Like" bar, you can request another dance and try again.
- Around 50 percent of the NPCs in the strip club will make this offer. If you don't hear it, try the dance again, or try another NPC.
After the dance is over, you will see this option if you were able to fill the "Like" bar in time. Press the corresponding key or button to accept the offer.^{[4]

The woman will meet you behind the club after you indicate that you want to go home with her, so drive up behind the club and park until she comes out.
9
Follow the route to her house. Your GPS will automatically direct you to her house, so just follow the minimap's directions to get there.
- The woman may exit your car and run away if you get into a fight with someone, but you can usually crash the car without her leaving.
Once your character enters the house, the in-game camera will remain outside and a time-lapse sequence will begin while your character and the woman sleep together.
11
Call your "girlfriend" at any time. Once the time-lapse sequence concludes, you will receive a notification that a new number has been added to your phone; you can call this number at any time to meet back up with your girlfriend.^{[5]

- Once in your phone, the woman's number can't be removed or lost.
- You can't technically do anything with your girlfriend (e.g., go on dates) except meet up for a conjugal visit again.

Where do I take a prostitute in Grand Theft Auto 5?

You take them somewhere secluded, like an empty lot, or an alleyway with no one there.

Question

How do I take a girl home in my car in GTA 5?

Community Answer

Offer to pick her up from the strip club after you've been introduced, and she will accept your offer. Make sure to park your car around back or it won't work.

Tips

Later in the game, you can buy the strip club as Trevor. Doing so will allow you to touch and flirt with the strippers without getting kicked out.

You can request another dance after the "Like" bar is full, which may cause an NPC to ask you to go home with them.

Tips from our Readers

The advice in this section is based on the lived experiences of wikiHow readers like you. If you have a helpful tip you’d like to share on wikiHow, please submit it in the field below.

When touching or flirting during a private dance, watch the bouncer from the corners of the screen so you can quickly stop if he turns towards you. Staring at him makes it harder to focus on the progress bar.
If thrown out of the club, immediately re-enter instead of waiting — your progress with that dancer will be saved so you can continue where you left off.
Only request private dances from dancers highlighted in pink — others won't progress to offering to meet outside. The same few dancers work every day.
If a dancer stops offering to meet outside after you decline, switch characters — some dancers prefer Trevor or Michael over Franklin when flirting.
To avoid losing progress, don't start fights inside the club and don't bump into anyone. One shove can get you kicked out.
