Yes, Wen, you said it: if anyone could pull it off Syntax6 could. So I thought she could pull off (with her eyes closed probably) a relationship between Mulder and Melinda that was less shallow than a fling/one-night-stand but not as much as dating or seriously affecting the outcome of his relationship with Scully. I just felt that the tension was headed in that direction and then petered out. Maybe that was exactly the author's intention but I am not convinced...maybe the lady herself is lurking and can answer the question for us!
As to whether Mulder is a quick fling kind of guy or not, I think maybe most people agree with you that he wasn't. But I sort of feel that he could have been in the early seasons of the show. He just looks as if he would be up for it, not serially perhaps, but certainly not averse to the occasional outing. In any case, though, Syntax6 could have written him with two heads and a fetish for llamas and I would probably still accept it...
