How do you deal with temptation/flirtatious girls?

I've been going out with my gf for nearly 7 years now and a weird thing has happened lately.. Other girls are attracted to me now while they never were in the past....I'm still the fat ugly dude I've always been but now that I've become far more ambitious in my quest to be a film director, well, let's just say that women are far flirtier around me... I guess they find my passion attractive and I think some of the actresses and other people I work with think that I'm a bit of a rebel filmmaker.. here's a quote from one of their blogs (i stumbled upon it)

Life lesson, kiddies: Finance jobs suck ass. Don't take one thinking that you'll make enough money to pursue your artistic ambitions on the side. It never ends up like that. Those jobs suck your soul away. Don't just take my word for it - ask Sam, who directed some student shorts I was in. Ask Sam's friends who were in the corporate world. Ask any NYC actor. Anyway, I'm babbling, and about the worst things...).

I think people are viewing me as oddly someone to look up to so I'm getting in these odd situations when I'm having meetings with my crew/actors.. Odd brief looks, odd flirtatious remarks, etc.. sh1t i'm not used to.. How does one deal with that? I adore my gf but this is all new to me and kinda exciting.. Really, I'm the biggest geek and now feel like a rockstar but I don't want to take advantage of it - it's freakin' hard!

opposite sex? your story doesn't make sense. if you're attracted to the opposite sex than advances from girl wouldn't be your first problem, your GF is. (ie you need a BF).

Not really man... If only she was hip to open relationships! Actually, I wouldn't be hip to her sleeping around either.. I wouldn't cheat on her.. it's just that I'm not used to this and it's driving me up the wall..

well now that you cleared that one up, if you love your gf than stick with her.
Else leave her, put yourself first. I did.

Oh, I've been a major asshole.. Not mean but VERY aggressive when working with my crew... I think that's what's so attractive! I'm secretly being a jerk 'cause I'm a big pushover and don't want to be messed with in the long run but ... What's my point? Yeah, I could be more antisocial.. but the problem is that I kinda like the attention, I just don't want it to go anywhere.. Does that make any sense?

Just ask them to do nude scenes in your movies.

You get to see the boobies without commitment on your part and without risk of *completely* cheating on your current relationship.

Problem solved!

I'm going to have to agree. I've been a victim of a girl's double-standards before, and am wholeheartedly against them.

I agree on an ethical level and I would never cheat on her.. BUt.. but.. I'm not used to the attention and it's very hard dealing with it..

If your heart and soul are with your current gf you shouldn't have a problem.

If you let your eyes and mind run wild, you could have a problem.

So with some self-control and honest thinking, with your right head, you should be Ok...

Act like a hotshot... you'll get even more interest. ;) The pursuit is the best part... you better not act on it though... 7 years is a long time.
