How clueless is Clark about Mayson really? - 10/25/10 09:46 PM
It seems to be a common theme in fanfic that Clark is shocked, shocked I tell you, to find out that Lois assumes that he and Mayson are dating. After all, in Clark's mind they were just friends and it was all a big misunderstanding.
However, on watching Lucky Leon this week I couldn't help noticing the scene where Mayson confronts Clark over lunch about their relationship or lack thereof. She even gives him the easy out a la, "If it's Lois, just tell me; I can take it." But instead of giving the obvious answer of "Yes, I'm sorry, I'm in love with Lois and you shouldn't hold out any hope for a future with me," he gives the complete non-answer of "I care for you, and I care for Lois." This struck me as a huge cop-out. Now, I'm not saying that Clark really feels for Mayson the same love that he feels for Lois, but I am accusing him of leading Mayson on and keeping her hanging in a very cowardly way.
Anyone want to defend him?
