It makes lots of sense, DJ
All he did was tell her that he loved her and that she had to have known. I always felt more like he was saying "Please don't marry Luthor. I love you and I want the chance to get to know you better. If you have any feelings for me, then you'll wait and see if we have anything." I just don't consider that an out and out proposal.
Yes, that's how i always looked at it too. I wonder some people thinking Clark was proposing.
I think Lois is a very complex character with deep trust *issues* - even with trusting herself. So based on her actions in other episodes (even future episodes in later seasons), I can see her doing exactly what she did.
Oh yes. That's why the show was so interesting - because the characters of Clark and Lois were complex, neither completely the saint.
I tried to explore these issues, especially with respect to Lois, in Yesterday Upon the Stair and more recently in The Fact of the Matter, and so I did a lot of thinking about them .
(sorry for the tacky mention of my stories)
Still not sure that Lois would call for Superman for a purely personal reason - what if he were in mid-crisis rescue mode or something? But I do agree that her request was spontaneously made - she didn't know *what* to do.
