If you are going to be a prisoner of something, be a prisoner of love. Sure it sounds easy enough, but is it possible to be incarcerated by love? If you are afraid to know true sorrow and devastation, do not read any further. On the other hand, if you embrace pain and heartache, keep reading to find out how to become a prisoner of love.

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Find someone to obsess over. This person does not have to be anything special, just someone you can convince yourself is the most important thing in the universe. If you are going to be a prisoner of love, this person will act as your jailer. They do not even have to be a part of your life. It can be a movie star, athlete or sideline reporter.

  2. Step 2

    Convince yourself that life just cannot go on unless this person is yours. Once the person that will allow love to hold you captive is selected you must decide that acquiring their love and approval is all you can focus on and live for.

  3. Step 3

    Ensure that they do not love you back. This is the tricky part. On one hand you have to want nothing other than the person you are obsessed with to be yours. However, you cannot be a prisoner of love if they are yours. You must do whatever it takes to drive them away while not destroying your obsession. Only the truly masochistic individual can pull this step off. Good luck to you.

  4. Step 4

    Determine what kind of prisoner you want to be. You can choose to be a prisoner of love in love's minimum security facility or you can be hard core and go with love's federal penitentiary. Going the minimum security route is still prison, but you might get out in a few months for good behavior. The federal pen is for prisoners of love who end up in the news or on Cops.

  5. Step 5

    Break out. Love's prisons are built to allow escapees. Once you get out you can either be reformed and allow yourself to be part of a real relationship or become a recidivist and start the cycle all over again.
