Doubtful. Lex's idea of romance? 
Of course it's supposed to be creepy - I just feel paranoid on behalf of the characters.
As for cannon, they kind of swept the creepiness under the rug and showed it as some great romantic gesture. Lois didn't even seem to wonder how Lex knew what her apartment looked like so exactly, and they never brought it up again. I guess it worked in the context of the episode, but in the grand scheme of things, it's just odd.
Lois isn't Lex's enemy, Superman is. Lois is merely a means to an end... a tool, mind you. It doesn't make her any safer, true, but he's more interested in tricking her away from Superman than trapping her, which he'll only do as a last resort. Of course, the end of the world *could* be considered the last resort...
I agree that Lois isn't Lex's enemy, but I would consider Lex to be Lois's enemy, even if she's not fully aware of it. He's been plotting her murder for months, hasn't he? If she knew how dangerous he was (and she has some inkling), she shouldn't have accepted drinks or dessert, but you know Lois. Always in denial about these sorts of things. I guess my point is that I cringe on her behalf and want her to be more careful because from the reader's point of view, Lex is the obvious bad guy, and he wouldn't think twice about drugging her.
