I have been involved with a rather peculiar young man and I am starting to think he's narcissistic. I know alot about the disease in itself but am too close to him to really discern a pattern. Can anybody tell me about their experiences with dating narcissists? Hope my guess is wrong!

Yep. it was hellish.
I love you, I hate you. You're wonderful. You suck. I never said that you're crazy! Spending every penny on luxury items, yet not having money for food. Thinking he was above paying bills. Blatant lying yet denying it when it's totally and obviously untrue.
authoritarian (he knew everything)
care only about appearances (he has to have the best money can buy- your money!)
contemptuous (everyone was beneath him)
critical of others (they suck- so do you)
cruel (nasty, cruel temper- verbal character annihilation)
disappointing gift-givers (you get what he wants you to have)
don't recognize own feelings (and you wonder what planet he's on)
envious and competitive (must always win and be #1)
feel entitled (He deserves the best- go get it for him)
flirtatious or seductive (with men and women- odd)
grandiose (such huge plans that go nowhere)
hard to have a good time with (always on egg shells and ready to snap at you)
hate to live alone (goes from 1 women to the other)
hyper-sensitive to criticism (how dare you! he's perfect)
impulsive (almost scary in the lack of rational thought)
lack sense of humor (he laughs if everyone else does)
naive (you wonder how he could be so dense)
passive (other people should do it for him)
religious (God will punish YOU for being that way)
secretive (but yet pretends it's all in the open)
self-contradictory (insanely so)
strange work habits (or unable to keep a job)
unusual eating habits (weird foods)
weird sense of time (talks about things from 20 years ago like it was yesterday)

i does no longer say he a narcissist particularly, yet I dated a guy that fluctuate into fairly caught on himself. We have been set up on a blind date and that i figured it out enormously plenty from the get-bypass. I knew we weren't going to have a destiny, yet I enjoyed spending time with him and it exchange into exciting listening to his perspectives on the worldwide, so we "dated" for a rapid time. He exchange into smitten by him image and his automobile, notably else. He saved towels on the floor of his automobile to maintain from getting the floor mats grimy and he saved lint rollers in the glove field on each and each of our dates so he could get up the stray hairs I continuously be able to go away in the back of. He had a colletion of baseballs caps, all in suited situation, and he not often wore one extra effective than as quickly as. the only factor approximately him that particularly ever troubled me exchange into that he lived in form, large automobile, large outfits, the superb of each and every thing, yet he exchange into much less costly with different human beings. He not often left tips for waitresses or bartenders and could no longer understand why human beings donate money to charities. As a former waitress myself, it exchange into insulting and that i enjoyed making a element to tell the waitress that the tip got here from me because of the fact my date exchange into too much less costly to go away one himself.

if he talks more about himself than about you, or if his main concerns are for himself and not for you.......
good luck. but then again, aren't most men narcissists?
