I like the 2nd ML way more but it seems like most of the comments are on 1st ML's side. That surprises me. If I had to describe what does it for me, I feel like 1st ML likes her because she's "innocent" and doesn't have any ulterior motives towards him, whereas 2nd ML feels worry and concern for her because of that instead, and wants to protect her and teach her to be more aware so she can protect herself. So I feel like 1st ML wants her to stay the same and 2nd ML wants to help her grow.
