Daryl & Connie’s 1st interaction! 
Connie’s first stand out moment on the show was risking her life to save a helpless baby waiting to be devoured alive. When yet another walker tries to attack her, Daryl shows up, killing it and leading her out of the cornfield (with others).

The moment that started it all b/w these two. Connie desperately wanted to go with Daryl to save children she didn’t even know, which wasn’t a shock after the baby save. Daryl rejected her coming along at first but she didn’t let his stubbornness stop her. Thus, Donnie was born.
Connie making sure Daryl knows to always look her in the eyes when speaking since it’s quite essential when talking to a deaf person without knowing ASL.
I loved this moment because it already shows a positive effect of having Connie in Daryl’s life. She makes him talk more!

Bonus: Teamwork
Daryl and Connie work together to bring a horde to the Whisperer camp to infiltrate it, in order to save Henry which they did successfully. Loved seeing Connie kill walkers while blending in as a Whisperer.
This showed the audience what an epic duo Daryl and Connie are together.

Daryl and Connie disagree on which way to go for a temporary hide out from the Whisperers’ but Connie is persistent with going on her path and naturally, the teens and Dog follow. Daryl has no choice but to listen and go as well. Soon, he’ll find out...she’s always right.
Connie directs Daryl and the others to an uncompleted building that her group had taken shelter in before. He compliments her intelligence for making a secret stash in case of emergency. This is the moment both characters share their first SMILE towards each other 
Yeah...Daryl Dixon has Connie’s curiosity.
After Daryl & Connie go over the plan of isolating the Whisperers by laying an ambush on the upper floors, Connie lets Daryl know that Lydia’s gonna stay with them and he’s in disagreement so she underlines “stays” to show she’s not accepting anything else. Periodt!
Daryl rejects the idea once again letting Connie know that Lydia’s not coming with them because that alone would put their friends in danger and possibly get them killed.
Fighting like an old married couple?

Connie is upset with Daryl not showing more sympathy regarding the teen and lets him know that they’re fortunate enough to have friends at all because Lydia doesn’t.
Then proceeds to storm off like a boss, leaving Daryl shook

Eventually, Daryl does change his mind and decides to let Lydia stay with them on their journey (thanks to Connie’s influence) and Connie smiles at him grateful as he gives a small nod back understanding that she was right.
Oh, it’s just Connie looking back at her man after talking to Michonne and him reassuring her that she did good 
Yes, let’s show Daryl and Connie on a porch in the background of a scene enjoying each other’s company even though it gives nothing to the plot or moves the story forward in anyway 
After an emotional conversation with her sister on the importance of goodbyes in the world they live in, Connie goes over to Daryl and tells him to be safe (and yes, he tells her to be safe too) 
As she’s about to walk away, Daryl stops Connie to ask her if she can feed his dog while he’s gone which is a surprise to her since he doesn’t exactly come off as a person who trusts easily but she gladly accepts. Thus, Dognie was born 
Daryl eyes Connie suspiciously long while she walks away. After snapping out of his trance, he waves goodbye.
This was our last Donnie interaction from s9 but it was glorious! I mean, how you can not be in love with the way Daryl looks at Connie?

Entering s10 was refreshing to see that the dynamic b/w Daryl and Connie was being continued. Daryl eyed the sisters while Connie gave Kelly a hopeful speech. After that, Dog runs straight to mom, I mean Connie...showing the audience that she has formed a bond with him 
Connie and Kelly wave to Daryl as he waves back with a SMILE (Um, is this a different guy because since when did Daryl become a constant waver? )
Connie just brings out a confidence in him that we haven’t seen much of until now, huh

Connie makes heart eyes at Daryl and Kelly being obviously observant of Daryl and Connie’s growing relationship, gives an eyebrow raise to let her know she sees the vibes b/w them but Connie brushes her off, as siblings often do.
This confirmed our desire for Donnie was valid!

Connie returns Daryl’s dog to him and teases him with a cute note about leaving Dog behind. I guess they reached flirty territory over the time jump The s10 premiere fed us so well!

Daryl responds by telling her that Dog just likes her better than him but in ASL. Yeah, people. SIGN LANGUAGE. It’s revealed that Daryl Dixon has decided to learn a whole new language just for Connie.

Part 1 of Daryl and Connie in their own little world while Carol talks to Zeke after getting back from her boat trip.

The show gave us this closeup of Daryl’s back pocket holding an American Sign Language book to show the audience how important she has become to Daryl.
Learning an entire language for someone has to be one of the most beautiful gestures in the world.

Connie’s face lights up when she sees her boo thang and in @paytons_queen’s words...Daryl gives his first “What up, shawty?” head nod 
Daryl shows off his effortless ASL when he asks Connie if they can talk later and we have YET to see what he wanted to talk about! At least, we know they hang out enough for this to be a normal thing 
Connie soon realizes that her sister has yet to return from her errand run & grows really worried about her.
Daryl looks her way, instantly knowing how she feels with the unspoken connection they share & the Donnie shippers rejoice knowing this means another #DonnieDuo team up!

Daryl tells Connie a story about his wild brother Merle and not only is she enjoying herself but so is he! You’ve never seen Daryl so free spirited and at ease with sharing parts of his life with someone. It speaks volumes about his comfortability and vulnerability around Connie.
