Will a narcissist in beginning dating move fast and act charming and flattering?
Yes- a narcissist will become everything that you want him to be. He will be super sweet and want to give you the sun moon and stars. He will buy you gifts and wine and dine you. When he knows he has you hooked he will then let the mask slip and start to be verbally/emotionally abusive. In my case I really don't think he realized how much damage he was doing. Whenever you are with a person whose behavior is clearly not aceptable for a relationship and they give you a hard time about confronting them, 9 out of ten times, you're with a narcissist! RUN don't walk to the nearest therapist and find out why you have let this person in your life!!
Does the narcissist change for the new girlfriend that he loves so much?
No. That person is only an extension of himself. He can only love things that are of himself and thus is incapable of any selfless love, empathy, or understanding. A narcissist's onlyopportunity for change occurs during a life altering crisis. This deflates the narcissist's ego a leaves him emotionally unstable. It is possible, but very unlikely a narcissist will change. It is even more unlikely he will change for another person. He probably is unaware of his own attitudes as they are subconscious defense mechanisms usually formed in childhood or adolescence. Furthermore, he is incapable of that self-sacrificing behavior that enables Pygmalion projects.

Since the narcissist has built his existence on a completely false view of himself he feels extreme satisfaction with his performance and basks in the adoration of others who may be fooled by his behavior.

On a bad day, reality may break through and he is bothered by his feelings of inadequacy.Since the narcissist has built his existence on a completely false view of himself he feels extreme satisfaction with his performance and basks in the adoration of others who may be fooled by his behavior.
