Unfortunately not all are as bright as you are because that was blurted to me in my first week and I definitely wasn't anything but Clark's friend and coworker. That's changed, but it can definitely throw a person for a loop to learn something like that on here.
And no, no one should ever just be known as anyone's girlfriend. We should be known for who we are in our own right. Though I'm changing his name to Lois Lane's boyfriend for awhile.
Have you been caught up on the demons and other crap that goes on around here?
