I think Pisces go out of their way to pleaseth epersons they love even if they do not do things conventionally. My dad is a Pisces; when i was growing up, he pretty much did whatever my Scorp mom desired.
My in laws are gem wife and pisces hubby; they've been married 55 years. She sort of did whatever he wanted when they were rearing the kids, but he obviously adores her and stil teases her. I have a close friend who is a Pisces. He is a surgeon and has a very stressful crazy busy life. But he does all sorts of crazy stuff for me when I need his advice or input. Like emailing regularly and reading my essays (I am a journalist) before they go to press.
Yet, Pisces do what they want . They are not slaves but they do have a very strong "service" ethic, meaning if you need them they try to be there for you. Try not to take advantage though or they can shut down both temprarily and long term. I always tell my Pisces fokls that I appreciate them and their love and concern. No one likes to be wrung out like a wet rag. And PS-- they can get sort of down and complain, etc. You have to then be supportive but firm.
Whatever it is I can do to please my partner .. I would certainly listen, watch, pay attention so I could "feel" his mood, and then tap into my own emotions to see how this would feel to me.
If it feels right, or at least not wrong to my own conscience, and it seems like a pleasing feeling ... then I would consider it.
If it feels bad, or wrong for me ... then I wouldn't do it, and instead would attempt to divert his attention away to something that I know would be pleasing to both of us.
I don't think its a matter of doing "anything" for a partner we are in love with. Its more like if you are in our hearts we will go above and beyond for you. But don't take that for granted because its just as easy for us to swim away.......
I've yet to meet a person to whom I'd die for .. I mean, literally.
Suppose there are people out there who would ... not me .. perhaps, too self-centered for that .. maybe Leo Rising?
You have it right for how I would view it too, Mclure ... if I were in love with a person, I would make them the center of my universe, and would constantly be thinking about their needs/wants ... but, that doesnt' mean I would sacrifice my values.
Yea I never stay in the warm mode either. But I have to make for damn sure that person feels the same way for me before I give them my all. My damn virgo rising and libra moon makes me analyze way too much lol.

Same here. I especially don't like when it's the other person who does things half-heartily just to please me. It makes it seem like they feel that our relationship is too fragile to handle differences and disagreements, not to mention that it can also make them grow resentful over time over the "sacrifices" they made, which no one asked them to make in the first place.
...But enough about my past relationship problems.
I would do many things for my loved ones. I am behind my pisces hubby backing him up even if he is wrong (& has the tender heart to even might believe just the little bit he could be) & loyally stick to him like Elmer's Glue! Thanks All!
I dont think we will do EVERYTHING, but we will do an awful lot to make our partner happy and satisfied. We like pulling our weight and want to make sure you know we are putting effort into the relationship. As I told my ex before, I like feeling useful to him and feel like Im helping him. But we expect so much the same, if not more out of the other person.
