Another favorite issue to some is wheather it makes sense that Clark withdrew his declaration of love to Lois. I understand why he did it, and that he wanted to keep her as a close friend, and figured there was no way to move forward yet. I am less certain he made the right decision.
Well put, John. One of my favorite fics by Wendy Richards, The Healing Time , deals with this. Did he make the right decision? It's debatable, and therefore good fodder for fanfics!
