<human>: Can you condense the text into a few key points?

Background:

My boyfriend and I are complete opposites personality wise. I'm not talking about likes/dislikes or hobbies. In that sector we have a good mix of things we agree and disagree on and that's fine because it keeps it interesting. What I'm talking about is that I am a very emotional, pensive person. I interrogate myself on everything and always search for deeper meanings. When people talk to me their physical language and tone is more important than the actual words. I also have BPD that causes me to feel everything extremely whether it's positive or negative emotions. I am verbal, physical and demonstrative about my affection. 

On the other hand my partner is pretty much the opposite of these things. He doesn't notice physical language or tone and only takes in consideration words that are said. He does show affection through actions and is a sensitive person but doesn't show it. When I want to talk with him about my deepest thoughts and worries he listens but doesn't share his side because he doesn't think about these things. He even claims that he never thinks with words, he just always knows. He is also very patient and logical while I tend to let my emotions get the best of me.

The issue:
He obviously is a very kind and caring person in his own way and I love him for who he is, but sometimes his neutrality can take it's toll on me. If I look at our relationship with the 5 languages of love I use all 5 of them, especially physical touch. He gives through acts of service and time. Early in our relationship I explained to him that I'd like it if he would show physical affection outside of foreplay and he says he tries but he hasn't improved at all. I sometimes feel rejected and unloved because I am the only one who initiates physical contact (cuddling, kissing, etc). I know he doesn't do it on purpose; it is just the way he is and try to not let it get to me.

So what are your experiences with someone with an opposite personality? Is it possible to make it work over time if we both invest ourselves?
<bot>: Boyfriend is unemotional and not very affectionate while I'm the opposite of that. Can we make it work?
