Is s/he a narcissist?

We all sometimes stumble into the clutches of a crazy person. Although there are many types of such people to avoid, narcissism is one of the trickiest to spot. Often you aren't aware until you're deeply infatuated that something is off-balance in this relationship. The narcissist can be charming.
