Have you ever dated a psychopath/narcissist?

Thanx for that info LeagueGirl & Wonderwomen I can easily understand why others thought I was narcissistic. My personality was a bit different then. . I realize now that I was not really narcissistic even thou I did have some of that behavior. I was taking advantage of some people amongst other things but it was NOT intentional; it was because I did not know how else to deal. I was kind of acting out due to depression & frustration over my life & problems partly due to my Aspie issues.
So to answer the post title question; I have NOT dated a psychopath or a narcissist

I don't know if she would qualify as a narcissist, but I unsuccessfully pursued someone who called me weak and unmotivated because I asked for relationship advice. She expects to never have to give emotional support, never accepts responsibility for anything she does, considers people who don't do everything the exact same way she does to be weak, lazy, and unmotivated, she expects no burdens or inconveniences, she considers anyone who tells her something she doesn't want to hear to be a manipulator, she expects everything to be handed to her, and to never to do any of the work needed in a relationship.

Psychopath. My last girlfriend and I only went on a couple of dates, we never even kissed, but already she had started planning marriage, a house and a baby! And in the end, she broke up with me, asking to be friends.

That was 9 years ago and I've been single ever since. Whew.

Tim_Tex, have you ever talked to a therapist about your experience with that girl? it's been a while since it happened but it seems to be affecting you very strongly in the present moment. i believe you are going to have difficulty gaining the confidence to start future relationships until you have found a way to manage that past situation in your mind.
