In the The Rider’s on the Storm sidequest she will flirt with you and put her legs up on you. Tell her to take her shoes off and relax. You have the option to touch her thigh, which you can take. She’ll reject you and say goodnight, but this is progress, as her interest in you is piqued.
There will be several options to tell Panam you’re in this for money. Make sure you never say this, as it will immediately close her off from you.
In the following A Little Help From my Firends sidequest, don’t reveal Panam’s plan to Saul. In Queen of the Highway, Panam will suggest neural synchronization inside the Basilisk, which you should accept. You’ll get the option to let Panam touch you, which you should take. You’ll then have an intimacy scene with Panam and can date after.

After this, you’ll have the dialogue option to pursue River romantically. Pick this, and you’re dating river.
How to ‘date’ Meredith Stout
Meredith is a powerful, cold corpo executive that you meet early on in the game, and some players will be shocked to know you can have an intimate encounter with her. This only stays as a one-night stand, however, and you don’t have the option to date her.
Meredith can be romanced by a V of any gender or body type. Your first real encounter with her is on The Pickup (ironically), but your decision to accept her infected credchip or not doesn’t really influence your ability to romance her. The main thing you have to do is abstain from killing any of her bodyguards.
In the aptly named Venus in Fur sidequest, Meredith will contact you to meet at a motel. Accept this offer (duh), track the motel down, and head to room six. Meredith will be waiting for you in an… outfit.
Here, you hook up Meredith and spent the night together. However, she’s gone in the morning, and only sends a text as thanks.
How to ‘date’ the Joytoys
The Joytoys are sex workers throughout Night City that you can have one-off encounters with. Though you can’t develop relationships with them, every one is interested in Vs with any body or voice type.
Joytoy’s can be found on Jig-Jig street, essentially the games Red Light District. They’re marked on your map, so you can find them, and they cost 3,000 eddies each.
How to almost date Alex
Unfortunately, there are no romance options in Phantom Liberty. However if you play your cards right, you can have a dance with Alex and flirt with her heavily.
Make sure you meet up with her at her bar after the main quest is over. Allow her to open up to you. At a certain point she’ll go over to the jukebox to dance. Join her and choose the option that allows you to dance with her.
