Batman himself does not, but Millionaire Bruce Wayne was known as a Playboy long before the men’s magazine of that name was first published. Bruce is constantly dating starlets, actresses, models and famous women. It is all part of his secret identity, making Bruce seem like a shallow spoiled-rich brat that nobody would ever suspect of really being Batman.

Short answer: no... if by "steady girlfriend" you mean someone who acts as an equal partner in his life, someone with whom he shares his feelings and love in return for the same.
Recent Batman writers have made it clear that, following his parents' deaths, Bruce Wayne was so traumatized that he now considers "Batman" to be his true character and "Bruce Wayne" is just a convenient disguise. As part of that disguise, Bruce has played the part of playboy to the hilt, supposedly connected to every eligible bacherlorette in Gotham City but never settling down because, despite his charms, he enjoys the single life (think George Clooney, only with a cape... on second thought, don't).
That said, he's been connected to several women over the years, esp. when the writers want to insert someone for a little romantic interest.
The first was Julie Madison (back in the 1930s), then Vicki Vale (introduced as a Lois Lane clone for Batman) in the 1940s.
Kathy Kane, aka Batwoman, appeared in the 1950s, but always as an ally and never a romantic interest.
In the 1960s, a policewoman named Patricia Powell confessed to Batman her crush on Bruce Wayne, never knowing the two were the same.
In the 1970s, Silver St. Cloud deduced his identity in stories by Steve Englehart. (New stories starring her and Batman appeared last year in a "Dark Detective" mini-series.) Also there was Talia, the daughter of Ras-al-Ghul who pledged her undying love to Batman -- but was also loyal to her father, and while Batman was close to giving up his life for her, he had a problem with her daddy's genocidal ways. (And you thought your in-laws were trouble...)
In the 1980s, Catwoman (who's always had a playful relationship with Batman, her crimes nothwithstanding) went straight and got romantic with Batman -- didn't last. (The Batman and Catwoman of Earth-2 -- one of several "alternate" Earths before DC's Crisis series -- did marry and had a daughter who became the Huntress.)
Also in the 1980s, a woman named Nocturna tried to get to Bruce/Batman through the Jason Todd version of Robin -- the less said, the better.
In the 1990s, we met Vesper Fairchild, a journalist who came to Gotham shortly before the 1998 Earthquake story and got herself killed by an assassin soon after learning of Bruce Wayne's double life. This was around the time we also met Sasha Bordeaux, a bodyguard assigned to Bruce Wayne who discovered his double life and fell in love with him, even so far as to go to jail on his behalf when Wayne was accused of Vesper's murder. That relationship didn't last.
Then there's the Batman of the movies and cartoons, outside the comics -- Andrea Beaumont (Mask of the Phantasm), Meridian Chase (Batman Forever), Rachel Dawes (Batman Begins)... the list goes on, but few ever hold the Dark Knight's affections for long. Considering what tends to happen to women who get close to him, it's probably for the best.
Hope this helps,
M.

Batman always seems to push away any of the women in his life (Vicky Vale, Catwoman, Talia, etc.).
He did have a relationship with Talia that produced an offspring (his son Damian).
But, at this time, Bruce is single, because he spends an awful lot of his time as Batman.

Bruce Wayne the playboy. Plus being Batman is an obsession. Women aren't the first thing on his mind.

While not entering the obvious debate about the world's most closeted homosexual superhero, let's just leave it at the fact that he doesn't have a girlfriend. No Mary (Jane, Spidey's gal) or Lois (Lane, Superman's wife) for Bruce Wayne, he'd rather have Dick (Grayson, his sidekick Robin).

Batman is Batman. He could never settle down like that. In reality, he understands that it's just too dangerous to love somebody, as he knows the limits of his abilities and understands the danger he puts both the lover and himself in.

No, but I believe he did have a child with the daughter of Raz Al Ghul.
