One thing I had forgotten is how absolutely charming Lex was and how much charisma he had. I totally understood how Lois was swept off her feet. Just on the surface, he was absolutely adorable.
Yes! In particular I can see why she'd be interested in Lex from episodes like 'I've Got A Crush On You'. He's so darn charming when he shows up on her doorstep, singing "Let's Do It (Let's Fall In Love)". That one sticks out in my memory, as does the quiet moment they share in "Fly Hard", when Lois is lying with her head in his lap while he lists all the things that money can't buy ("brown eyes" being among them). Both those moments are sweet and rather sensual, at least enough for me to cut her a little slack.
Lois: You know, I have a funny feeling that you didn't tell me your biggest secret.
Clark: Well, just to put your little mind at ease, Lois, you're right. Ides of Metropolis
