I'm not sure what you have in  mind here; perhaps the story of Shimon B.
Shetah and the  Nazir?

....But in that story, the Nazir didn't exactly fall in love with  his
image; rather, he felt an overwhelming temptation toward  sin.

Thank you for providing all the sources that you  cited.
 
Yes, I had in mind this story.  The ikar is not that the  man fell in love 
with himself, but that he saw himself reflected in the water  and was taken 
with his own extreme beauty.  This story has to my mind a  striking 
resemblance to the Narcissus story.
