Something I get asked a lot on social media is, how do I know if I'm dating a narcissist again? The decision to start dating again after a separation is personal and it doesn't have a specific time to occur. However, after suffering narcissistic abuse, whether we are looking for Mr or Mrs Right, or Mr or Mrs Right Now, one thing is sure: we want to avoid dating a narcissist. In this episode, we will go through the 12 signs you should pay attention to to know if you are dating a narcissist. 

What You Will Learn In This Episode:

- Beware of love bombing at the beginning of the relationship

- What a strong entitlement attitude is really telling us

- The things we can easily spot during a casual conversation about how narcissists talk and what they talk about

- Being alert to manipulative attitudes and the consequences of not following their plans

- What we can read from a strong lack of commitment and a constant tendency to break the rules

- Why narcissists put others down all the time, why they are master gaslighters, and why they don't have long-term friendships

It usually takes some time, at least six or seven dates, to spot a narcissist. However, we can have our eyes and ears open to these 12 signs, be aware of them and see if any of them rarely appears, appears often, or almost all the time. We must be patient and we don't need to go full-blown from the very beginning. If we've found the right person and the relationship is meant to be, then time is not really an issue.
