Alright I just got "Intimate" with Yukiko, so that means she is now my girlfriend right?

And also, I got my social link with Chie up to Level 9 and it gave me the option to ask her to become my girlfriend, I said the other thing but will I get another chance to ask her? And also can I have multiple girlfriends? What happens if I do?

Yeah, in the context of the game, being "intimate" is the equivalent to having them be your girlfriend, so Yukiko is indeed that. If you choose to deny the opportunity like you did with Chie, however, you don't get a second chance; they just become close platonic friends at that point. You can also have multiple girlfriends if you opt to do so, although if you start going out with another girl while being romantically involved with another, there's a chance that you'll have your dates with the new girl get intercepted. It's an interestingly awkward spectacle to behold, to say the least.

Should I bother with reloading my old save and asking Chie to be my girlfriend? I mean, I liked Yukiko more anyway but I kinda wanna see what happens when you have multiple girlfriends? Is it worth it?"

Every girl in the game was my girlfriend. Worth it? absolutely. "

Maybe my memory is a bit foggy, but I'm pretty sure you can only have one "official" girlfriend at a time and if you say you don't want to be their b/f when you max their SL, then you never get a second chance at being an item later in the game. I'm not 100% certain, but I believe that's how it worked in the game.

I didn't have any problems at all. Once Yukari saw Ai and I together, but I talked my way out of it.

I tried having more than one girlfriend, but Rise called "Cheaters" to spy on me. God, I hate Joey so much...

"

Why would you get with Yukiko? She's such a bitch.

As I can tell there 0 retribution for having multiple girlfriends, the close thins that you get are set event that pop up now end then, the only factor there is how strong is the social link. I did too have the Ai and Yukiko event on a Sunday. Since Yukiko had a full S.Link, she basically bitch slap Ai out of the way so she spend time with the main character. The big bonus that you get come at Chrismast eve, were one of the girl will call and ask if she can spend the night over at your place, you can guess what she really want. Again, it like a menu there to, you just cancel rende-vous until the girl what to get busy call. I subjest to go with Rise, since she give you a +50% SP itme.

"So bottom line here, should I have multiple girlfriends? And also if I want to ask Chie again to be my girlfriend I have to go back Six days in time to my previous save and lose about an hour in gameplay

Man this is to much pressure, I gotta go play LBP or something

Does anybody know which Christmas scene you get when you have multiple girlfriends?

you get to pick which girlfriend you want to spend time with. If you refuse all the girls request then you spend time with Teddie and Yusuke.

"you get to pick which girlfriend you want to spend time with. If you refuse all the girls request then you spend time with Teddie and Yusuke."

I was just wondering about some stuff today :

1. Is it possible to still get S. Link level 10 if you choose not to be girlfriend with someone?  I haven't seen that character around since I refused girlfriendhood to her.
2. Is there any point in further dates after maxing the persona link?  Are there bonus scenes if you do that a lot?  Bonus skills?

Fuuuuuuuck. Just messed up getting Naoto as my girlfriend on my second playthrough. Which is partly the reason why I bothered with a second playthrough. :(

Are there any specific benefits to dating anyone in particular? Obviously Yukiko is the sexiest ;) haha.

@sized27: It makes no difference except for a couple of small scenes. No gameplay rewards. You get their ultimate persona either way.

"Dating" grants the same benefits a platonic relationship, but has a couple extra scenes later in the game where you hang out in your room. In base Persona 4 there is no penalty for dating multiple girls, but in Golden you get an extra scene where you have to choose.

Also, Chie is best girl, everyone knows this.

If you're playing Golden with the goal of being a pimp, feel free to date multiple girls if you want some extra scenes on Valentine's Day.

But if monogamy is your way, then stick to one. You can always explore other options in subsequent new game plus runs.
