The smoothest thing Colin did all season was tell Penelope she already knew how to flirt and then proceed to seamless begin flirting with her and have her flirt back while the entire time she was none the wiser.

I don't think people understand that Colin in fact HAD suffered enough.
People who say he hasn't are clearly not people pleasers/they have a supportive family.
That poor guy has no place in his family. He finally found a passion of his own and they don't care, like at all. Sure, they love him and support him, but no one replies to his letters, no one wants to listen to his stories, no one asks him how he is.
The only person who truly fully cares about him (and he knows that, as we've heard in his apology) is Penelope. And he screwed up and lost her, because he doesn't fit in his own family and he desperately wanted to fit amongst his friends, at least. So he said some stupid shit he shouldn't have and he was rightfully called out on that. And he's desperately trying to fix that. Again, by the only thing he knows best - pleasing others, putting someone else first, helping, doing something the other person wants.
When his father died, he was the one to lighten the mood, to be there for others and it simply sticked with him, which is a huge mental load for a kid.
That guy was crying, eating himself alive, he was not able to eat and sleep and he had no one to go to.

Let’s talk about why Colin Bridgerton is THE BEST Male Lead.
He actually went Pen less then an episode after he realizes he’s in love with her. IMO while the kiss did make him reevaluate his feelings, the fact he is actually in love with her does not click for him until that ball at the end of episode 3. We literally see the moment in clicks. He talking to the other debutant about his hero moment and he catches Pen’s eye and he realizes the reason he was able to have the courage to save the day is because it was Pen in danger and he would do anything for her. He then goes to Violet for advice and when she tells him he needs to have the courage to ask he walks towards Pen with purpose. Yes he let self out get in his way for a minute, but still before the end of episode 4 he has gone full unhinged to get the girl. It was a really BOLD move to interrupt an expected proposal but he did not care. He was a man on a mission and he delivered.
Colin literally said fuck societal norms. That man’s entire arc is about him feeling uncomfortable with the role of a typical man in that era. Yes he does play along for a while but that’s speech to those annoying dudes after he’s unable to do what society expect him to do in a brothel was so refreshing for a male lead in a regency Romance. Colin is still super young but he’s already over the Cavalier Way men regard sex. He wants love. He wants connection. He wants his sexual encounters to matter.
That man is literally the king of consent. Not only does he wait for her to consent to them moving from kissing to more he also gives her the space to reject him after his confession. And let’s talk about the confession. I’ve seen this talked about and a lot of places, but it’s still so amazing and so true… the reason that confession is so good is because it’s not the declaration made out of anger like we’ve seen in the previous seasons. Newts managed to make the confession so soft yet screaming with passion and desperation. 
I’ve seen a lot of complaints about how Colin did not yearn enough, but I feel like what people don’t realize is Colin has been a yearning for this for seasons. No he didn’t realize that Penelope could give him what he was yearning for, but that boy has always been yearning for love acceptance and connection and he’s finally realized that Penelope is the one that can give him all of those things. It’s literally the most beautiful climax that has been seasons in the making

Bridgerton Spoilers!!!!
Do you know how much trust Penelope had to have in Colin to nod Yes in that carriage with how nonexistent sex education is in the Featherington household? WTF did she think she was nodding Yes to??? She was really going to let him do anything he wanted, that’s how gone she was.

The fact that Penelope is so scared to tell Colin she is Whistledown because she doesn’t want to lose him the way she lost Eloise
Eloise saying she has to tell him or he cannot possibly love her without knowing who she is
Penelope probably thinking but you know who I am and you don’t love me
Somebody sedate me!!!!

As someone that has grown up surrounded by beaches and done surf life saving, I know how the sea works. Lots of people dont. Every summer multiple tourists die here because they don’t respect the sea, if you’re going to the coast, here’s a thing I saw on Facebook.

If you can’t understand why some of us are absolutely besotted with Penelope’s story be grateful. Because it means you have never…
Been overlooked & undervalued.
Suffered from unrequited love.
Had a parent who obviously thought less of you.
Had a complete inability to flirt.

“Luke’s a bad actor!”
No, Colin is a bad actor. Luke did a great job playing a character pretending to be someone they aren’t.

I would call this the walk of shame, but he's literally going to announce their engagement after he just fingered her.
