1 a novice or beginner: In English, the term "amateur" has two meanings. The primary meaning is "a novice" or "beginner", which is what Fiona is calling Philip here. An "amateur" is the antonym of "professional", which Philip calls Fiona earlier. In English, we generally use the term amateur to describe someone inexperienced, or someone who does something for pleasure rather than professionally. Example: He's an amateur boxer, or I'm an amateur poker player. The term can also describe something not officially recognized: an amateur football club, an amateur golf tournament.
1 a fan or admirer: In a different context, an amateur is indeed a "fan", "admirer" or an "enthusiast", as in the sentence "He's an amateur of French cinema", or "she's an amateur of Shakespeare". However, when Fiona tells Philip he is an amateur, she is commenting on his lack of professionalism, or his childish attempts to seduce her.
1 a charming person: The term "amateur" doesn't refer to a charming person in this or any other context.
1 a tactless person: A "tactless" person is one who says inappropriate things, or says things at the wrong time. Although Fiona may in fact believe that Philip is tactless, this is not what she is saying when she calls him an amateur.
2 to be a fan or admirer: When Philip says that he is an "amateur" of women, he means that he is an admirer of women, or that he appreciates women. This is the secondary meaning of "amateur" in English: an enthusiast or fan.
2 to be inexperienced: In a different context, an "amateur" is a "novice" or "beginner". However Philip is not calling himself a novice here. He is stating that he appreciates women.
2 to be successful: The term "amateur" doesn't refer a successful person in this context or any another.
2 to be talented: The term "amateur" doesn't refer a talented person in this context or any another.
