Val knows what she wants even though DD isn't for it, but you could say hes not against it either.
DD has a lack of confides in the idea of dating and dislikes the idea of it completely due to past dates that have left him very little faith in doing it. Val wants him to be more comfortable with the idea and get his confidence back. She also has quite a thing for DD and would like him to go out with her. It'll be an up hill struggle but hopefully she can get through to him.
When your bodyguard his the hots for you. She can punch you, you know that right DD?
