Aw, shucks!
What a set-up! Can't wait to see Lois buy a clue so that she sees she's the one Clark's in love with. Sure hope that Clark is prepared to stun the socks off her!
Go Clark!! Knock her out!!
More soon!

 Great part, Wendy. I especially like how Lois is talking herself from falling for Clark because of the "other woman". Now there are four people in this neo-relationship - Clark and Superman and Lois and Lois's Rival <g>. The table is going to be crowded. Poor Clark - Visa shock. But I agree with him that it was money well spent. He deserves to look great. Well, can't wait to see how this date goes. And how Lois finally puts two and two together! Great job, Lynn

Great introspections from both of them, Wendy! Dinner looks to be quite amusing. I hope Lois gets all blown away again by Clark's good looks. I love the conversation Lois has with Martha! It's just *so* Martha. And then the conversation with Jonathan... doesn't he know they both need the push?  Now this was rather short, get back here and post more!! Saskia

I needed ice-cream to read this. The scene is set. It's nice to see how Lois wants to win Clark over and vice versa. And he intended to show that he knew the difference between his boyish behaviour then and the behaviour of a man who was interested in a woman.

Good job, Wendy. I really liked this installment and can hardly wait for the date! Irene

Fantastic section, Wendy!  I'm so glad Lois is starting to think... what am I saying, *obsess* about kissing Clark. Dating him and *kissing* him!  at the Farfalla!)
- I'm your partner. I'm your friend.
- Is that what we are?
- Oh, you know what? I don't know what we are. We kiss and then we never talk about it. We nearly die frozen in each other's arms, but we never talk about it, so no, I got no clue what we are.

Well this is a great set up wendy. I can't wait for the "date" to happen. I hope there will be some kissing at the end of it and no door slamming<g>. Laura

Yes, she'd identified his interest then as an incipient crush. And she might have been right - at that point. Since then, though, his feelings had deepened. He loved Lois Lane. And he intended to show that he knew the difference between his boyish behaviour then and the behaviour of a man who was interested in a woman.
<snip>
In not much more than an hour, Lois Lane was going to discover what it was like to be taken out to dinner by Clark Kent. Well, this just made my night. <G> The only problem with reading soon after you post a section is that I have to wait the full time until the next part! Great section ... Martha's nudge was cute -- I, too, hope it doesn't backfire on her (though I have to admit, seeing L&C take a little good-humored revenge when this is all over could be ever better  ) And I love that Lois realizes that Clark could change his mind at any time about the "mystery woman". Don't give up, Lois, you haven't lost him yet! And, of course, the section I quoted above ... go get her, Clark!  Part 7, please! Kathy

Well, Wendy, there is just a lot of...thinking going on, isn't there?
Lois sits and thinks. Clark sits and thinks.
But when is something going to *happen*?!

Another solid instalment (big surprise there).
The Lois instrospection, the Clark instrospection, and the conversation with Martha were all in place to set up the 'sort of but not really practice date'.
It must just be me, but some things seem just a bit skewed here. Martha's 'gentle prodding' seems more like outright meddling than just giving Lois 'hints' at how she should feel. And Lois herself. She has often said that it's Superman's goodness and compassion for others that makes him so appealing to her. Traits that she knows that Clark possesses, but tends to ignore. Yes, she admits that Superman looks good in the tights, and yes, Clark is an attractive guy, but this whole shopping things smacks of superficiality. Lois is seeing Clark 'in a whole new light' just because he dresses better?
I hope you allow Lois to broaden her reactions to Clark and let her see her realize that he's more than just 'nice packaging'.
We all tend to judge a book by it's cover, but we can't really enjoy it until we open it up to read. Just let Lois open to book before she makes any real decisions.

Hey guys! Back again with thanks for all your comments this time around, too. Yes, this was something of a transition instalment, in which nothing much happened apart from a lot of thinking - sorry, CC - and a conversation with Martha for Lois. And, speaking of Martha, Tank said: It must just be me, but some things seem just a bit skewed here. Martha's 'gentle prodding' seems more like outright meddling than just giving Lois 'hints' at how she should feel. Yes, I've been waiting for someone to accuse Martha of going beyond gentle hints and actively interfering. I know I'm treading a line here, and I'm just relieved that for the majority of readers Martha seems to stay on the side of amusing, gently prodding would-be mother-in-law. If she's going a little too far for you, Tank (and for anyone else who just might not have said so, though I see that Kaethel and Kathy have hinted in that direction), I hope that by the end of the story that much will be resolved. As for Lois herself, Tank, and the reasons why she might fall for Clark now, I hope in the end she won't look shallow. I've tried quite hard to avoid that, but I would welcome any comments on that, especially in relation to anything I might need to change. Lynn said: Now there are four people in this neo-relationship - Clark and Superman and Lois and Lois's Rival <g>. The table is going to be crowded. ROFL!  And Kathy says: Soon! Very, very soon!  Thanks again, everyone! Part 7 coming up very soon. Wendy
Just a fly-by! *waves*
