Is Caring the same as Loving...??

Tenieka,

Care and love are two way too different things. You can care about anything and everything. You care about your friends, your animals, your possessions (if you are materialistic).

But love... Love is directed to only one person. All your emotions are on that one person.

Just remember care does not equal love. Otherwise, it'll get you into very vulnerable situations.

I agree with BJ, love and care are two completely different things. I'm best friends with a guy that i really like and he always tells me how much he cares about me... but that doesn't mean anything, it's just how close of friends we are.

But, looking relationshipwise, you have to deeply care about a person before you love them. When they tell you they have a game or something or they go somewhere, that day you're always wondering "i wonder how they did" or "i wonder if they had a good time" and you ask them about it first. You always are interested in their life and listen to everything they say. You have to care about them before you even try to love them.

i guess it all depends

to care for someone is to love someone but not as if you want to marry them. i truly care for a few people and if they ever really need my help i'd stop whatever i was doing, even a date with a girl to help them. you can't say what a feel for them isn't love, but it's not love in the same way i would love the women i'd ask to marry me. so he cares for you and therefore loves you but not in the same way you love him.

just my opinion on what caring is though HE might think differently

No caring is not the same as loving. Just like loving isnt the same as being in love...it all comes down to the individual and there circumstance but love and care are two very different words with very different intentions behind them :o)

^ I agree with all of the above posts.

Caring and loving are two different feelings. Love is a much stronger feeling. You might care for a guy, and love another. It's good to have a guy who cares about you, but him saying cares about you is different then him saying he loves you.

yes

No, it's not. If he loved you, he would have told you so.
