Number 1: They make all the choices on the first date.
When discussing where to go for dinner, they may have asked if you prefer any restaurants, and you may have given them a few options, only for them to insist that they know this great place and that you’ll absolutely love it. So, you agree to be kind. That is the first clue. You two arrive at the restaurant and they start ordering, not giving you a chance to look at the menu. You just take their word for it because they seem to know what they are doing. A narcissist will take control of the situation and order things they enjoy. You may see it as a kind gesture, but in reality, it should be marked as a red flag.
A non-narcissistic person would want to hear your opinions and be open to trying stuff with you. Later on, you might realize you didn’t like something they picked out. You attempt to be polite but your face is saying that you are not enjoying it. Your narcissistic date, instead of apologizing and offering to get something else, gets upset and distressed that you did not appreciate the food they ordered. This may cause tension which prompts you to start apologizing and continuing to eat to please them. You don’t want to be the reason the date is ruined.
If the date continues after dinner, they may suggest things that they like or try something new that they feel they will enjoy. They expect you to go along with it and follow their every move. This is normal behavior for a narcissistic date. Once they see you are willing to comply with whatever they want, they continue to do it on every date.
