Dealing with certain personality types

So, I have a good friend, and he introduced me to his other friend (let's call him dick). Before I met dick, i'd heard some negative things about his personality. finally, i met him. sometimes he's nice, he pays for drinks and stuff, and is sort of well informed but at other times i cant pin him down. i've only met him on a few occassions but he already acts like he knows me really well (its not mutual). for instance he'll send quite bawdy texts and its all meant (I hope in gest). the problem is he is very domineering and direct. i'm bisexual but not out, we went to a club and went to the entrance, and i saw someone i knew, i freaked out and told him i didn't want to come out to this friend and got really upset and asked if we could have some time away from the club. we went away and he rushed me into an answer if i was going or not, then after a few minutes, basically said "I'm going with or without you" in no uncertain terms. He could see i was visibly shaken. I let it go. Now he's sent me a text (supposedly a joke), making fun of how much I'm earning, it was a long the lines of "oh, i heard you earn 15k, perhaps time for a pay review? i pay my girl on reception 20k a year lol" it was worded in a less harsh way but thats what he said...How do you deal with people like this, I cant make out if he's totally socially retarded or a bit of a bully who knows what they are going and is quite selfish?
