5 Flirty Ways To Let Your Captor Know You Have Stockholm Syndrome

Look at them over there, lookin’ all cute holding a gun to a bank teller’s head. You can’t stop thinking about them as the rope scratches the skin on your tied-up wrists. And you didn’t even think you were into that kind of thing! Well, you weren’t. Until now. You’ve gotta make your move before the SWAT team busts in, but you can’t be too forward about it. That’s why you’re gonna use these 5 flirty ways to let him know you’ve developed full-blown Stockholm Syndrome.

Eye Contact
You might find it hard to meet the gaze of the person you’re destined to be with. But there’s no better way to communicate that you’ve been bound in itchy rope for so long that you have lost the ability to differentiate between a heartfelt emotional connection and being held against your will.

Laugh at Their Jokes
The other hostages might not think your ski-masked captor is funny, but you know better! These dum-dums just don’t get his wry humor like when he shot that security guard in the stomach and let him bleed out while pleading for help that would never come. It’s just too edgy for these snowflakes, I guess! Just make sure your laugh doesn’t sound forced or desperate. Have some chill.

Touch Your Hair a Lot
We won’t lie, the power imbalance between you and your captor may have pushed you beyond your understanding of the nature of your relationship. But sex appeal sells, so use it!

Offer the Other Captives as a Sacrifice to the One Who Slumbers Below Ice
You learned this flirty little trick when you were in that Eldritch cult so this one may be scenario specific. But hey, it’s worth a shot!

Write Them a Little Note
If all else fails, put your thoughts down on one of the hundred dollar bills that are now littering the air like confetti after a misplaced explosive destroyed the bank vault door along with everything inside it. Use the resulting panic of your captor to assure him that you can provide a stable life once this all blows over.
