Despite Dale's scruffy appearance, he's actually a very gentle, shy and overall polite person deep down. He lacks self-confidence with himself and is nervous around women. Despite his attempts to talk with Allison and her friends when they first met, he only freaked them out and made him depressed. Dale is also very shy around undressed women, as when Allison was undressing in front of him he covered his eyes, something Tucker teased him for. Dale is also a skilled cook, capable of making pancakes and eggs in a rundown cabin for Allison.
