Sometimes it may seem like there are no flaws in your new partner.
However, there are undeniable signs that point to pretense.
Let's figure out how to understand that you are being deceived behind the apparent perfection.

Alarm bells
You should be wary if a person behaves perfectly when he is alone with you, but at the same time he does not want to introduce you to his friends or parents.
This suggests that he strictly regulates the provision of information about himself.
The same goes for not wanting to meet your loved ones. He may be afraid that he won't be able to keep up appearances in front of a group of strangers.
Another trait that gives away a covert narcissist is constant criticism of others. In order to constantly exalt themselves, such a person needs to criticize others.
You should also be wary of the fact that he is rushing things too much.
If on the first or second date your seemingly ideal partner assures you that you have a unique connection, it is better to be skeptical about this statement at first.
