EG. I have a friend who is married to one of these emotional types. His wife recently got mad at him and wouldn't speak to him for 5 days. She never told him why, and finally forgave him, but he still has no idea why? The emotional passionate ones may be fun for a while, but I wouldn't want to marry one. Look at it like owning vs. renting a hot sports car. It might be fun to ride and have for a short time, but ownership would likely turn into an expensive headache. I own a Buick.
Way to over analyze the person. If their emotions are firing off on all cylinders, but loves you nonetheless, what does it matter?

I don't know, maybe I'm taking it too seriously, sense I'm currently turning into a "taxi driver".

Oh, I'd have to go with the first relationship.

Too little information to tell, really, and it seems like a very artificially contrived choice (most likely I'd choose neither). But for the sake of providing an answer, I'd choose the one who's more sexually compatible if she has a high libido!

I've recently have had to make that choice.

My current boyfriend makes me happy, spoils me, and tends to all my needs (and I try to do the same to him, but I'm more verbally affectionate than he is, he believes in speaking purely through actions), except he is not willing to admit that he loves me, so I figures he probably doesn't love me enough.

A friend I met during the summer had a crush on me but was not being very obvious about it. He didn't act upon it until late September when we became closer. From that point on, he was being very affectionate and romantic. He called me every day and told me things that made me blush, and always asking me out. He said that his heart was down for me, all I needed to do is give him the green light. I felt like he was willing to go all in if we were to have a relationship. When we hang out, he acted and looked at me like I'm the most special girl in the world. He tried to take me to school on his car everyday. All the pursuing made me wonder what I really want, but I picked my current boyfriend in the end. (I did not cheat, although I had pictured being with the other guy and did not see it lasting very long)

Ah, but not all "emotional" ppl will necessarily feel the "love" and "hate" emotions, in equal amounts or proportions though I'm pretty much one of those kinds of ppl, but I am also usually very "slow" to become angry. I can guarantee you, it is *a lot* easier for me to feel the emotions of love and affection, than those of anger and hate. In fact, I can't even really remember the last time, I actually became seriously angry at someone

Easy choice - Option 1.
When you find that, take it and run, it's very rare to see it more than a couple of times in your lifetime.

I would choose the one I couldn't live without, not the one I could live with

Easy choice, option 1. It's nice to feel wanted and appreciated for a change.
