I've dated a narcissist and yes, it's a bad bad bad idea to date one.

First he (or she) seems like a perfect match, and most people who know him like him.
Second he will slowly let go of his fake appearance and you will start to wonder if you fell in love with him or his fake appearance.
Third you'll see what he is truly like...
And finally you will want to lock all doors and windows. But the narcissist has the keys already and will try to keep draining you for months or years in some cases.

True that!

I don't see the need to attack me by the way, I was sharing my experience in hope that somebody else didn't have to go through it. I know it was naive of me, but why does that matter to you? I've learnt from my mistake, it just takes time to 'recover' - and I am doing.

You guys were right. She is broken in a way that leads to nothing but misery for anyone involved with her. I'm trying to break it off with her now, she's into me for money and I'm just writing it off, I don't care. She wants to go on this 2 week trip and I can't even stand the idea of 2 weeks with her, but we've been planning it for months and oh my God is she going to rage when when I tell her I'm not taking her. She's incapable of giving me any credit for anything, she can't admit when she's wrong, everything always has to be about her, and she has the most God-awful selective memory. She's like a temper-tantrum prone child that needs constant attention. She doesn't have the keys but I'm thinking of moving anyway.
