Hmm. Self-less for me may mean total surrendering of oneself, no inhibitions, total giving and accepting. It's not whether you are reciprocated or not. It's when you love that you give your whole self; and it's loving that you accept others without conditions.

Love is a selfless act if you see your relationship as a place that you go to give, and not a place you go to take.
Simply put, "Love" is not an emotion, but is an "Action Taken," that is both "Selfless" and promotes "Well Being."
According to Yahweh's word in 1 Corinthians 13, Yahweh sums up what "Love" is and what "Love" is not. In every case "Love" is described as a "Selfless Beneficial Act," and not as a "self-centered emotion." "Love" is the attempt at or accomplishment of satisfying the needs (not wants) of others, and not the satisfying of personal needs or vanities. Giving gifts at Xmas time or birthdays is not an act of "Love." Getting emotionally upset with your spouse or sweetheart, because you feel unloved is not a result of "Love." "True Love" expects no return. "True Love" is not a give in order to receive relationship.

There are times that I think it is and sometimes that it isn't. First, we must learn to love ourselves before we can love others. Question is how can that be self-less when we are loving ourselves? It can only be self-less when it is given to others. That's why that statement, "love is a self-less act" , can be a little misleading.

No, it is an act full of one's self as without the involvement of full self, there can't be any love!

Jesus died on the cross for our filthy sins.
He gave us a chance to get it right.
That is a perfect example of a selfless act.

Because you see only the one you love, her pains and tears, forgetting your own.
