In Chapter 3, Cherry says that she could fall in love with Dally and hopes she never sees him again because she will fall for him. This comment stuns Ponyboy and forces him to take a closer look at Dally. In Chapter 4, Ponyboy studies Dally and attempts to see why Cherry is attracted to him. Pony mentions that Dally could never love her back because the fight for self-preservation hardened him beyond caring. In Chapter 8, Cherry explains to Ponyboy why she could not visit Johnny in the hospital. She then tells Pony that he only saw Bob Sheldon's ugly side and says that he was actually a sweet guy. Pony then realizes that Cherry saw the same things in Dally.
In my opinion, Dally and Cherry would both benefit from being in a relationship together. Cherry would care for Dally and bring out the best in him. Dally would probably become a more sensitive individual knowing that there was someone who truly cared about him. Cherry would also discourage Dally's violent behavior which might have a positive influence on his actions. Cherry would also benefit from having an authentic person in her life. Dally is not superficial like most people Cherry knows and he would bring joy to her life.
