What is the difference between caring and loving?

Love is found in the heart between two people - it's not a fairytale but it probably not the fairy tale romance, scoop her up and carry her away - scenario that is promoted by the media and the romance novels. It is real in the sense that it provides what nothing else can - intimacy, companionship, sexual gratification, honesty etc, etc. If you stay away from the fairy tale mentality you will be fine. Caring is a sincere way of conducting yourself or sharing your feelings between two people usually not romantic.

It is that feeling you get from helping a friend - usually when women say this they mean you are in the friend zone. It is rewarding for you and the other person because it is a nice, genuine way to help another person. Loving on the other hand is meant to interact with someone dating, in a relationship or other situation.

It is to offer verbal, physical or emotional attention to someone who you are having strong feelings for. Women differ at times on whether this is platonic or not, but in my experience, it is usually not platonic. I think that someone can be totally in love but that is subjective.

Someone can be totally in love and be in a healthy relationship. This does not mean that you have to be obsessed.To be totally in love one could offer respect, honestly, fidelity, etc. This could still allow for the ability to be you as a person and them as a person. To women alot of times this means fidelity and dedication.

Caring and loving are the personal traits and very similar to each other if we talk about parental relations. Means there level and importance varies from relation to relation. In a child - parent relationship they both have same meaning, in a friendship care has more importance or dominant than love.

And in couple relationship or in husband - wife caring is the one element than strengths the love. A person who is loving also caring but a person who is caring not always show love or in a limit but whom he/she loves show passion. Caring, understanding, trust and communication are the main elements of loving relationship means partner relationship.

I agree with cu. I care for my friends dearly, but I don't love them. I have a couple of male friends that I would many things for, like buy them lunch, or go to their birthdays or hang out with for a while.

I care for them, but I go home to the one I love every night...except tonight, he's out of town. :o( In the most basic difference, love is a feeling, to care for someone is not a feeling. Deeper, when you love someone you can't imagine going even a couple of hours without them, when you care for someone, eh you can see them the next day or after the weekend or during the weekend.It is only those who have not experienced love, even short term, that believe it to be a fairytale.

Yes, people can be truly in love with one person. I am in love with my husband and my husband only. I know he worries sometimes because I work with over 35 guys and only with one girl (and she isn't here on Wednesdays).

I work at a dealership, it is still predominantly a male culture. But he doesn't have to worry, because the only person I am in love with is him, afterall that's why I married him. He and I have been through a lot, and that has strengthened our bond (instead of slowly weakening like many marriages).

Love implies caring but caring doesn't employing love. You can care for someone you don't love but it is impossible to love someone without care for him/her.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
