i love question marks! and that's perfect. dottie has a screwed up family background that she was still sorting out her feelings about in high school. which mostly meant that she went to a lot of raves and skipped class a lot. fortunately once she got into the real world she managed to mellow it out. she'll flirt with anyone that's open to being flirty with, so once they started hanging out i can see it being like "well hey let's see what happens."
