Dally was always a little bitter that Tex and Lizzy liked each other, so when Tex left, he started dating her just to prove he could. Lizzy also wasn't really all that into Dally, but mainly dated him because he reminded her of Tex. So, in reality, there wasn't much emotion there, just two teenagers trying to act like they didn't miss Tex and loved each other.
