I thought, in Superman comics, they could show that the reason Clark and Lois don't date isn't because she dislikes him or anything, its because Clark is too busy being Superman. He uses Clark more as a cover, to get close to the Daily Planet, the heart of Metropolis, and the media, but after work he is Superman (and sometimes even during work). So they just don't really spend any time together at first.
This, I guess, would go into the Grant Morrison Action Comics stories after Clark starts working at the Daily Planet with Lois but before he becomes the Superman we all know.
Then, in Superman comics, he has sort of slowed down to allow himself to have a normal life. Lois has a boyfriend now though, but Clark has learned to allows himself to have a life as a mortal outside of being Superman.
Another idea I had came from reading George Perez's Superman #1, they are sort of worried about Lois and Clark being in the newspaper business because its sort of dying. So what do they do? Lois became an executive producer or something, which I love. But my idea would have her being like an Anderson Cooper journalist. She could still write for the Daily Planet even, but her new job would have her going out into the field and reporting from the front line to a camera. She would go to disaster zones, super battles, war zones, etc.
As for Clark? I think he wouldn't want to be on camera at all since he is Superman, just wouldn't fit anyway. But I think he could be the reporter behind the scenes who goes out and finds information for the others on camera, while Lois would want to do this all herself he would do it for any on screen story being reported that needed him.
I still like Clark becoming this type of research guy for the News. I would love to see this used in Perez's Superman, while Lois is an Producer of a News show Clark finds the stories and facts for them to report.
