I'm pretty sure that this:
Is in the same thought process as this:
The tone and the eyes were the same 😢 the same embarrassment and the pain of feeling pitied and the despair of unrequited love (not knowing that he's going through the same thing).
I'm happy for her confidence in putting herself out there but the sacrifice of letting go of your first love after finally experiencing a kiss from him just breaks my heart. She was truly doing her best to move on.

Shout out to Lord Debling
You may not have been the one for Penelope, but you were brave enough to stand up and say “that Bridgerton fellow seems mad hot for you, you should look into that”.

Colin definitely misses Penelope when he gets back. He wants to spend as much time with her as possible. She sees Colin and, of course, gives him an ego boost.
Penelope grounded him through his letters on his first tour, and without her writing him, Colin went crazy. He lost sight of who he was to a point that he created a new social personality as a rake like he thought was expected from him. Why did he think it was expected? The men who would talk to him also had rake personalities, and women would give him attention if he was "charming" and flirty. His brothers even congratulated him for having more "proportion."
However, Pen sees through that. He starts seeing how important not only their friendship is but how much she means to him.
Someone was saying on here that he used the courting lessons to have Penelope forgive him, to be friends again, and to spend more time with him, and I agree. He doesn't really teach her much, except to have confidence and be herself. He's still going unchaperoned with her, touching her, joking/flirting with her, and meeting up in the middle of the night.
Ooo!! Another thought... maybe this is another reason why in the Willow scene, he is so happy to quit the lessons. I think not only his world turned upside down with the kiss, and he now sees Penelope in a more romantic light. Also, he believes she has fully forgiven him for his words from last season, and they can resume just being together that is outside society rules. The word "friend" starts to sound so strange coming out of his mouth when he is starting to describe their relationship. "Like wow! I like her, AND I can kiss her too? I didn't know I could do that! And I like doing that."
Yet now, she is saying she wants to look for a relationship with someone else, and Colin just wants to make her happiness, even if it's not with him. Which starts his torture.
I'm seeing so many new things!!!
Then his mom says that it's ok to gather courage if she also has feelings. Colin is like, "Absolutely! I'm a good boy, and I will gather courage to ask."
And he freezes. There are so many doubts. He has no idea if she likes him. His fear takes over, and Lord Debling shows up to start a courtship dance. Of course, Colin wants Penelope’s happiness, so if she chose Debling, he would let her.
The second that he realized that Penelope would be engaged and to a man that would not love her, that is when Colin gathers the courage to ask. Pen would not be happy with Debling, and Colin only wants her happiness. Colin realized he wanted to make her happy, she would make him happy, and he would do everything in his power to make her happy. For the rest of their lives. He knew in that moment that he could waste no more time. Who needs courtship when they've known each other most of their lives? Now that he knows she wants to be more than friends, he wants to marry her.
I'm going to watch Season 3 Part 1 again. I'm in a loop, my fellow Bridgerton watchers!

This look Colin has is a pure surprise. That guy is shook. Not embarassed, not amused, shocked.
Because he'd never seen Pen being awkward.
She was always herself around him, so easy going, comfortable, and natural.
"You know how to wave your fan and flutter your lashes." That implies she's done that before with him, with absolute ease and he noticed.
He thought this would be easy, that guy didn't even stop to think, he straight up went to those men, because he knew she could do this from the start. He just didn't know it was around him only. And now he's like wtf is happening, now is not the time to try something new, do you usual flirting!
I did not came up with this, unfortunately, I can't find the original video on tiktok, so I can't credit the person who did.
