What is the difference between love and care?

Question

If you think there is a difference, what is it?

Answer 1

Love is a feeling from your heart, and Care is an act gathered from your intractions.

You can Love everything and anything but not care.

You can care for someone or something that is yours or something or someone your responsible for, not neccesarily Love.

Take care.

Answer 2

Love is more of a concept, an idea.

Care is more of an action, something we do.

We fall in love with a person, meaning we feel some emotion.

We care for a person by patting their back, or caressing them, or helping them fulfill a need.

Answer 3

Yes, there is a big difference.

We throw the word, "Love" around like a football.

Haven't you noticed, all these little girls love the Jonas Brothers. People love French Fries or the new Red Corvettes.

And on first dates, when a guy says, "Oh, Baby, I love you." We all know the translation, "Hey girl, I'd like to get in your panties and do the "wild monkey dance."

Love has gotten to be just be a word, rarely does it mean a little more than "like".

I would much rather have someone tell me that they care deeply for me, at least I would feel like the attraction was more than a French Fry.

With care, you know there will be tenderness and you will be treated as a rare object which should be admired and adored.

With love, you are on the same scale as a favorite beer, song, car, motorcycle, food, etc.

Answer 4

You can care for someone and not love them.  If you love someone you'll naturally care for them.  It's like the next step!
