New Narc Boy

New Narc Boy

Old N and I are through. Waaay through. He moved on to some fresh unsuspecting supply.

I've been single for months. I met new guy, thought he was a great guy. Worked in the helping profession. We hung out a bunch of times, chatted til 4 and 5 in the morning about anything and everything. He never made a move, I thought it was respectful.

I paid attention to red flags. He talked about his ex often, but blamed himself for their breakup. He said that "often times in relationships you take things out on the other person and he felt that by his doing that he had pushed her away."

He mentioned that his mom "thought she was a narcissist" but that was it. I REALLY paid attention to how he spoke about his exes.

He was always talking about how emotional he was, how much he loved love songs.

I told him from the get-go that I was a free spirit and that I'm moving in July. I told him I didn't like relationships and that I'm a very chill person.

Finally, one night after talking again about everything from "molecules to zebras" (his words) he asked me if he could take me on a date sometime. He told me from the first night we stayed up talking he knew I was "something special." He said he had wanted to ask me to be his valentine from the first night he met me and he ended the night kissing me on the lips and saying "bye valentine!"

After that he kept being really pushy about plans. One night I had worked about 16 hours tirelessly and he asked me to hang out at midnight when I was out of work. When I said no, he kept pushing and pushing and seemed angry. He then called and apologized for "coming off mad because he wasn't mad."

The next time we hung out we were making out laying down and all of a sudden he sat up and seemed to have gotten angry that I wasn't "touching him." I told him that I had boundaries and that I liked to go at my own pace and I only slept with people I trusted as I had had a bad experience in the past. This started an hour and a half long argument where he was saying that since I was moving to New York he didn't understand why we should go slow and then kept contradicting himself saying that he didn't want to be fuck buddies. He then got up super close to my face and was staring directly into my eyes asking "how much do you like me?" And I was like "why do you want to know?" and he was like "If you ask me that one more time I'm leaving!" So I saidI liked him a lot and he kept asking if I was falling for him and all this. He said he didn't want his emotions to be toyed with if I was moving. HE WAS MAKING NO SENSE.

We unfortunately ended up having sex. Don't know how it happened, I think it was the moment and the fact that he was staring into my eyes for such a long time. He had never even looked me in the eye before that for the most part.

Today he told me on the phone that he just wanted to be friends. That it was a mistake. That he knew it would cause drama. I never said ANYTHING. I told him I didn't want to be friends, that i had plenty of friends and those friends didn't confuse me.

He kept texting me after saying things like "I wasn't using you, sorry if I hurt your feelings it wasn't intentional you'll be alright." ALL OF THIS CRAZY STUFF when I kept saying I didn't care.

He kept saying "so you really don't wanna be friends?" I kept saying no.

So we had sex once. It is what it is. I'm glad I found out now he is batty instead of months from now.

This is no reflection on me whatsoever,I did nothing but be nice and relaxed with him. He acted SO WEIRD! The only reason I'm feeling yucky right now is because the last time I remember interacting with someone in this way... it was my ex-psycho. The behavior was almost identical. Whenever I tried to cuddle with him he "didn't like cuddling unless his legs were up." The weird ticks..

The sex, then pushing away. The closeness, then distance. The games. The manipulation. The mirroring.

2 words: F*CKING WEIRD.

I keep thinking of more weird stuff he said/did.

The night I told him I was too tired to hang out after a long day at work he said it was fine and then got upset because he said he "couldn't hang out for a while." When I stuck to my guns he called and apolgogized and said he read over his texts and it he realized it "may have sounded like he was mad but he wasn't" and then made plans for less than 2 days later with me.

When we were hanging out and he asked me how much I liked him and I said "a lot" he was like "well if you like me so much how come you didn't want to hang out for 2 weeks!?"

Yup. Kept saying I could "trust him" and "tell him anything" and when I told him I had been taken advantage in the past he still pushed the sex.

Weird things: I asked him to watch a scary movie. He said he "had to be in the mood for scary movies." I put on a funny movie. He tells me "ehhhh I don't want to watch this movie and he had actually wanted to watch a scary one." When I was like "ummm that's what I said" he seemed confused.

I told him about the religion "humanism" which is the belief in the goodness of people. Next time I saw him he says he adopted this new religion, he didn't know if I'd heard of it called "humanism." I reminded him that I had told him about it and he was like oh you did? I don't remember that. I changed my religious views on facebook to that.

And he did.

Whenever I think about him saying "Do you like me enough to break your free spirit" I feel all sorts of icky inside. Maybe he meant in terms of settling down and getting into a relationship. Idk.

After he got up from the bed mad at me he kept saying that "he DIDN'T CARE IF I THOUGHT HE WAS CRAZY OR WEIRD" etc. when I hadn't said ANYTHING. I was just staring at him innocently while he packed up his bag.

He went on and on about the sex and how we shouldn't go slow. And then when I asked him a question about sex he looked me square in the eye super close to my face and said "we're NOT going to have sex." And I was like wait.. what? And his lips turned up and he said "don't you just wanna slap me right now?"

He said he hadn't kissed anyone in 12 months and slept with anyone in 14 months.

I also know for a FACT that he will hoover very soon. It's inevitable. As I type I can't even believe that I'm writing this about THIS guy because the warning sounds are SOOOOOO similar to my ex-psycho. Like its like I'm writing about the same guy.

The difference is, the ex-psycho took my life from me for a while. I got it back, I'm not taking that road again.

All our narc boys sound the

All our narc boys sound the same eh..
mine would also play these mind tricks on me. And many times he would reiterate what I'D told him and pretend he was teaching me.

and I posted this once before but one of my favourite memories (not) of him is when I wore leggings on our 6th or 7th date and he told me he hated leggings. I had curled my hair, put on some new makeup and wore a nice dress...and the FIRST thing he says after hello is "why are you wearing leggings? :S"

I stopped wearing them (bad move, should've just done what I wanted..but I learned that now!) and 6 months later he says: "why do you ALWAYS wear skirts and jeans...why do you never wear leggings like other girls? They're so sexy". I was dumbfounded..LOL..weirdos.

I'm glad you got out of this sooner than later...I feel like because we've gone through this once, our radars are now fully functional and we can protect our heart and emotions before we sink any deeper....stay strong and continue living the good and liberating life you've established in the absence of your psycho ex. Hugs :)

OMG I think I had the same

OMG I think I had the same narc!!! He tried to tell me that denim jackets and skirts are "outta style." I know I'm a few years older that he is (and now I think he was trying to play that as part of the D&D) and I was like..."dude...denim clothes are on racks in EVERY store because it has not gone out of style at LEAST since the 60's"...but he insisted as if he knows more about womens' clothes than I do..probably wanted me to feel discouraged to wear certain things esp since he worked out of town 2 weeks out of 3.

This is why healing is

This is why healing is important before jumping back into the fire..

Long talks till 4am ..his mom is a narc .. Talking about old relationships .. The whole package spells narc..

Those long talks were his way of learning all about you.. It's a narcs way to gather the facts..a snake charmer so to speak..

You need to work on you my friend.. If you look to man as a band aide .. This narc cycle will never end..

You, my friend, have

You, my friend, have encountered a predator. Period. Get away and stay away from him immediately. He will destroy you if you don't.

He/they have a "radar" and can find you, the empath, in a sea of a million people. He sought you out for a reason and now, if you do not escape him, he will play you like a fiddle, and he can, trust me. This can and will be detrimental in your recovery otherwise.

Read and heed my friend.

Veery weird, for sure. But, you don't know until you date, how someone is going to 'be.' Good thing you know what to look for and this ended quickly. Here's to a new week !

Nobody can make the decision

Nobody can make the decision but you, but I think you should put your narcissist detector goggles and "see" him out of your life...this is an opportunity for you to banish one of those and teach the universe not to send you any more!!!!

Forgot to add that when he asked how much I liked him and I said a lot he said "do you like me enough to break your free spirit?"

And after we had sex he simply said "so you trust me."

"do you like me enough to break your free spirit?"

Run like the fucking wind!!!

He is going to hoover again to see if you'll sleep with him again and play along with his games. Dont do it!

Im very sorry you encountered a guy like this. You saw the signs though, you just wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt. But no more! Dont put yourself through this again. xo
