dying to yourself in order to put someone else first?
Is love that warm fuzzy feeling you get inside when you are loved?
Or is it taking care of you sick elderly mother till you drop when she doesn't appreciate it.

The love practiced by Christians is founded upon self-sacrifice for the benefit of others. It's only when you begin practicing this that you have an understanding of what it is, how it works, how to recognize it and how it changes you.

Love is all of the things you mentioned and so much more. God is love.
Read 1 Cor 13:4-8. You will find the true definition of love.

1Jo 5:3 For this is the love of Yahweh, that we keep his Laws: and his Laws: are not grievous.
Deu 11:1 ¶ Therefore thou shalt love Yahweh your Father, and keep his charge, and his statutes, and his judgments, and his Laws, always.
Exd 20:5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them (To Gods), nor serve them (A God): for I Yahweh your Father[am] a jealous Father, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth [generation] of them that hate me;
1Jo 3:11 For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.

Well love is not a feeling but a choice. If your married for years you may not always feel like loving your wife but you do because you chose to love her. Below is the encyclical by Pope Benedict XVI called "God is Love"

1 Corinthians 13:4
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Taking care of someone else, nothing makes the heart feel better, it is it's own reward.

love is that feeling of perfection when u r wit that one special person.
love is that feeling of emptyness when u 2 are far apart.
most of all love (in my opinion) only really comes once in your life and dont u let go or you might regret it.

It can be fuzzy at times, but it is more of a commitment.
