You should not date a narcissist because they always put their needs first. Everything must be on their terms and they do not display emotion as an average person does. A lot of times they will send you mixed signals and they will be hot one minute cold the next.

Narcissists also tend to want life to be a big party in their honor, and they love their freedom. They do not want to be tied down and because of that narcissists tend not to be able to have serious relationships, as they are built on trust, common ground, and on mutual support. Narcissists often do not handle these things well.

Definitely not! If you are dating a narcissist, you should break your relationship with him. You will never be able to maintain a healthy relationship with a narcissist partner as they will look for their own happiness and desires.

Your narcissist partner may hurt your self-respect and damage your self-esteem. Even after you put in 100% efforts, they will not ask for your thoughts, desires, and needs. They live in their own virtual world with their preoccupied thoughts.

If you want to give a chance to this useless relationship, you can go for it. However, it would be really tough for you. You will need to sacrifice your self-worth and self-expression. Your expectations should be zero if you want to date a narcissist. It’s not the way your love life should be.
