* Oddly enough, ''[[Grand Theft Auto IV|GTA IV]]'' has this as a feature, complete with different places to go, activities to play, and different opinions with each and every girl. You can even meet them online on the internet and eventually have "hot coffee" with them. Your clothes, vehicle, driving skills, calling time, amount of calling (if you call too much, you're a stalker, but too little, and they'd think you'd forgotten them), all count in to how they view you. They remember what you have and where you go too. Each girl also has a totally different personality and interest, along with benefits if they like you enough. Even more surprisingly, you can also hook up with guys, although they are of the guy friend variety, like drinking or going to a strip club, but it's still the same basic feature. With all this, they also implement this feature directly into the storyline several times, along with the horrify ending with deciding {{spoiler|the death of a dear friend or already mentally scarred girlfriend}}.

** The main point of these friends is to make the player's life easier: free transportation, [["Get Out of Jail Free" Card]]s, guns, cars, lower wanted level...

** Dating Sim elements are creeping into Western games more and more—see Bioware's ''[[Mass Effect]]'' and ''[[Dragon Age]]'', and ''[[The Witcher]]'' before that.
