Empathically not. Narcissists are incapable of loving. Idealization - the unrealistic, fantasic, pathological, and utilitarian adulation of a source of narcissistic supply - has nothing to do with love.

Is it normal for a narcissist to say they dont know what love is because they have never had it in their lives even though you told them how much you loved them?

The only "love" a narcissist knows is self-love. Their inability to empathize with anyone else means they are unlikely to know what love is. A narcissist will say anything to maintain their narcissistic supply. If you are the source of this supply, and they realised that if they said they don't know what love is will get you to increase that supply, then they will say it. Please be careful. Look after yourself.

I'd like to learn about the narcissist's desire for ideal love and also how he makes his partner feel and believe that he's the only one who understands her and that they are soul mates?

! I'm not an expert (so ask an expert, a psychiatrist, a psychotherapist, we can't make a diagnosis), but I know what you're talking about because of my experience and interest.A narcissist is someone with a Narcissistic Personality Disorder.At the beginning, he'll make you feel like you're the woman of his dreams, then you'll fall in love. He'll become distant and he will humiliate you , he will tell you that you are "needy" or something like that. A narcissist is afraid of intimacy. He'll make you suffer, he'll date other women.He'll make you feel insecure and you'll start to wonder what mistakes you have made.A narcissist wants you to meet his needs but he is not an empathetic individual and is uncapable of responding to your needs. He's never received love from his parents (childhood wounds) so when he receives love, he feels uneasy. A narcissist doesn't really know what love is because he hasn't had it when he was a child (the "love object" wasn't there when he needed it), so he figures out love ("ideal love", love is just another of his fantasies). The narcissist develops a false self (being just himself isn't enough to get some love).


What does only a masochist could ever love a narcissist means?

A Masochist is someone that loves pain, in short, and very generalized. Loving a narcissist is about pain, therefore only a masochist could love a narcissist. Having said that, I think someone was being very sarcastic when writing it as anyone can fall in love with a narcissist, they are very charming and morph themselves to you, for awhile. I think they were trying to make the point that only a masochist could enjoying loving a narcissist, due to the pain part. On that I concur.

Narcissist in love with a narcissist?

It's certainly possible. A narcissist may date another narcissist that is more selfish than they are to feel better about themselves. In turn say "i'm not as selfish as he/she is so that makes me above him/her). It's incredible and shocking the way people with this disorder think. It takes a lot of research to understand a narcissist.
