Number 4: They demand your full attention.
Of course, you will naturally want to give your date your full attention, but things don’t always work out like that. Life happens. You might get an important work call, or something might happen at home. Another clue for how to spot a narcissist on the first date is by seeing how they react when you get pulled away for something important. If you kindly explain to them the important call or text, they will not show any sympathy for you and openly show their disapproval of your actions.
A narcissistic date believes they are more important than anything and will ask you to not take any calls or texts because it is “impolite.” Your date is showing you some major red flags by saying that. A non-narcissist will be understanding and wait for you to finish your call, but a narcissist will not.
Another good way to find out if you are dating a narcissist is by seeing how your date reacts if you run into someone you know. Many times one of the people on the date, usually the non-narcissist, will stand up and say hello if they see someone familiar, introducing their friend to their date. Afterward, the narcissistic date will express to you how rude it was of your friends to ruin the date or claim that the friend gave them a nasty look, for example. Their ultimate goal is to ensure that they get all of your attention, that no one else does.
They may also get upset or flustered when you talk about how many different friends you have. The reason that they may get upset is because narcissistic people like to date people who will only need them. It can be harder to get their victim to abandon their friends when there are more than just one or two.
