I had considered perception in other things, like things pertaining to Lois's trust issues, but I'd never considered that maybe she really did think she was dating Paul. It could easily have been a misinterpretation. That doesn't give Sam a ton of leeway, but it helps a little.

I love the possible connection in the name Bender, which is in part why I'm wondering if I could slide with Paul being a little bit more in the wrong. Lois does tell Clark that things were happening, and even if that was exaggerated, I think Paul had to have been giving some sort of positive signal for Lois to assume they were dating.
