Which Bridgerton Lord Is Your Match of the Season? A Most Scientific Assessment of Seven Love Styles

It has come to my attention that many among us harbor fantasies about the gentlemen of the ton, yet fail to consider a rather critical question: which lord would actually make you feel most loved? For you see, we each have a distinct love style, and a gentleman's attentions, however ardent, mean little if they’re fashioned in a way our hearts cannot comprehend.

Fret not, my gentle reader, this author has conducted extensive observation of the Bridgerton men in question. Curious discoveries present themselves, indeed.

Wondering which lord would actually make your heart swoon? Take Truity’s 7 Love Styles test and discover which suitor is secretly fluent in your personal language of devotion. Your match of the season is only one scandalously insightful quiz away!

If Your Love Style is Activity — Colin Bridgerton 

If you feel most loved when someone not merely tolerates your interests but genuinely delights in experiencing life alongside you, Mr. Colin Bridgerton is your match of the season.

Colin has spent years traveling and collecting experiences. But he doesn't want to experience the world alone anymore. He craves a companion for his adventures, someone whose enthusiasms match his own insatiable curiosity.

With Colin, love means active participation in each other's lives. He would listen when you mention wanting to try that new tearoom, and take you there the very next day. He would champion your interests, perhaps presenting you with beautiful journals and offering writing advice, blissfully unaware that he’s mentoring the Lady Whistledown herself.

This reformed rake brings fierce passion into shared activities. With Colin, everything becomes foreplay when you're doing it together.

If Your Love Style is Appreciation — Benedict Bridgerton

If poetry, letters and tender declarations make you feel most cherished, then Benedict Bridgerton is the gentleman who shall make your heart sing.

Benedict is an artist, which means he is trained to observe. But more than that, he appreciates. He does not merely look at beauty; he marvels at it. This is precisely how he would love you. He would see the parts of you that others overlook.

He would notice when you have changed your hair. He would comment on the particular shade of your gown and how it brings out the color of your eyes. He would remember that clever thing you said at Lady Danbury's ball last week and bring it up again, laughing, because it delights him still.

What sets Benedict apart from the common rake is possession of a gift for making people feel like they matter. In his presence, you would not only feel loved — you would feel seen. And is that not what we all desire?

If Your Love Style is Emotional — Anthony Bridgerton

If you feel most loved when someone connects with you during vulnerable moments, then the Viscount himself is your match.

Anthony has spent years trying to outrun his emotions, burying his grief beneath responsibility and rigid control. But when he finally allows himself to feel, he does so with an intensity that could set the entire ton ablaze. He does not do anything by halves, least of all love.

The Viscount would hold you through panic and pain without demanding you compose yourself. He would listen to your fears, understanding that sometimes we simply need to be felt and seen in our most vulnerable state.

Yes, he might initially express his care through practical means, but pay attention: strip away the duty and the propriety, and you will find a man who loves with his whole heart, who would burn the world down before letting you face your demons alone.

If Your Love Style is Physical — Simon Basset

If you feel most loved through touch, then the Duke of Hastings is unquestionably your match.

Simon is a man who spent his childhood starved of affection. He learned that words could wound, that they could be twisted into weapons or caught in one's throat entirely. But touch? Touch became his native language, the one form of communication that never betrayed him.

The Duke would express his devotion through physical connection in ways both tender and intoxicating. He would tuck an errant curl behind your ear during conversation, his fingers lingering just a moment longer than strictly necessary. He would guide you through a crowded ballroom with a steady hand at your waist, ensuring you never feel alone in the crush of the elite social circle. 

With Simon, you would never question whether you are desired. His hands would tell you constantly. He’d make you feel cherished through touch that says, over and over: You are mine, and I am yours.

If Your Love Style is Intellectual — King George

If you feel most loved when someone values your mind, then His Majesty King George III is your perfect match.

George is a man of profound intellect and insatiable curiosity. He does not merely wear the crown; he studies astronomy, collects scientific instruments, and debates agricultural reform. He seeks understanding, craves knowledge, and respects those who can challenge his thinking.

With the King, love would be a meeting of minds. He would value your intelligence as the rare gift it is. In an era when women are expected to be decorative and agreeable, George would find you fascinating because you think deeply, question boldly, and refuse to accept easy answers.

Yes, his illness casts shadows. But in the light, George would make you feel that your mind is not something to be hidden but celebrated. With him, you would never be merely a consort. You would be a true partner in thought, and is that not its own form of devotion?

If Your Love Style is Practical — Phillip Crane

If you feel most valued when partners show love through actions that matter in daily life, then Mr. Phillip Crane awaits at Romney Hall.

Phillip is a man who demonstrates devotion by noticing what needs doing and simply doing it. He would observe that you are overwhelmed managing the household accounts and take them over. He would see that you are exhausted and ensure the staff lets you sleep undisturbed.

What makes Mr. Crane appealing is his steadiness. He does not love in dramatic bursts but in consistent, thoughtful actions. He would anticipate your needs before you voice them, handle the tedious tasks you are dreading, and silently ensure your world runs more smoothly.

With Phillip, you would never carry your burdens alone. His love speaks in actions, and for those who understand this language, there is no sweeter declaration.

If Your Love Style is Financial — . . . 

This Author notes with some amusement that not a single gentleman examined shows particular inclination toward expressing love through the financial love style. After all, these are men of the ton, where wealth and generosity are rather... expected. 

This Author's Final Word

A gentleman may burn for you, pine for you, or write sonnets in your honor, yet if he speaks a language your heart does not understand, the message is lost entirely. Choose wisely, dear reader. Or imprudently. This Author will be watching either way.
