Datt

**Datt** is a romantic/friendship pairing between D.J. Fuller and Matt Harmon on *Fuller House.*

The ship first started in the episode, "Secrets, Lies, and Firetrucks", where D.J. hangs out with her boss' son, Matt. On D.J.'s way out, Matt yells "D.J., wait!" and she immediately runs up to him and kisses him. After their kiss Matt says that he was just going to tell her that she forgot her purse. Embarrassed, D.J. leaves. Once D.J. leaves, Matt does a short victory dance as he is heading to clean their table.

## Relationship Dynamic

"*Matt, when you first walked into the clinic, I felt an immediate spark. And when I look into your eyes, I feel alive, and excited about our future.*"
—D.J. about Matt.[src]

Ever since then, D.J. and Matt had gone out on a few dates and D.J. ended up really liking him. However, she had to make the choice between Matt and Steve (her high school boyfriend whom wants to reunite.) D.J. ended up rejecting both of them saying that she is not ready to date yet (due to the recent passing of her husband, Tommy). However, D.J. is still good friends with both of them. In Season 3, it was revealed that after a few weeks/months of dating D.J., he was going to propose to her. in Japan. When Matt proposes to D.J., she says yes, but still feels conflicted on if she really loves Matt, and right after Steve leaves C.J., when Matt tries to tell everyone that him and D.J. are getting married, she tells him she can't marry him because, even though she really likes him, it still doesn't feel right.
