I haven't had the best of luck with guy friends, I'll be honest. My past experiences have made me especially cautious, but I have realized that although men can be how men can be, there are some good ones in the bunch. So recently, I have reconnected with some ol' guy pals.
Here's the problem. One of my career ambitions is to be a writer. I would like to do both screenplay and novel writing, and because of some advice, I've recently been working on a script. One of my guy friends is a director. After I told him about my writing, he was very eager to read my work and discuss some project ideas with me. It seemed like a good opportunity at first, but then he started acting weird around me and now I'm starting to doubt his intentions .
Here are some examples of his slimey behavior: he has little pet names for me "gorgeous" "beautiful" etc. When he suggested we meet to talk about project ideas, he asked me out to dinner on Valentine's day(), he makes me feel guilty when I can't meet up with him.
Am I overreacting? What should I do so that I can make it clear to him that I only want to talk about business? My other guy friend thinks he just wants to get laid and is using the whole "I'm a director" thing to get in my pants. Thoughts?

What would happen if you told him those names made you feel uncomfortable?
Is there going to be a double standard here? I get called "sweetie" and all this crap when I'm out in public. I think it is kind of lame...but certainly not slimy. I just think this guy might just be lame.

I don't know, I usually just ignore it. I haven't done anything to provoke this behavior from him. I try to keep things as neutral as possible - which is what confuses me. I notice that other girls (mainly wannabe actresses) throw themselves at him.
I want to get the point across without being rude, but I am getting more and more irritated. I think the last straw was when he invited me out for dinner on Valentine's day when we had talked all week about meeting up to discuss projects. I thought it was really inappropiate, and if he had wanted a date, he should have been clear about it from the beginning!

Just tell him that you would like this to be a business relationship only. He's probably really used to having women throw himself at him, like you said, and he's one of those goons that pumps his head up in the morning with air, at the gas station.
No, he's just a guy. I can tell you what you are... but I'll refrain...
I'll bite , what am I?
