I think the play is made to make it seem like the love is real but I don't think it really realistic.

He is also not thinking about the consequences of them getting married being from two rival families. - Clyde

True love would be getting to know someone more and gaining that love for them.-Rollin

Thats just being in love with their appearance. You need to know somebody emotionally before you can gain love for someone. Juliet is probably just a rebound for Romeo to get over his feelings for Rosaline.

But then, as soon as he saw Juliet, he was in love. And he wanted to get married with her ASAP even though they just met. This shows Romeo impulsiveness, not thinking clearly, not following his emotions, and just doing things recklessly.

He goes out of his way into enemy grounds without her knowing just to talk to her which is very dangerous and could result in his death. He barely knows her a does all that for her.

He was just recently heartbroken but now is just so devoted to Juliet, who is not only a girl he just met but also a girl from his families enemy family. Which instantly just makes the whole thing so so so impulsive. -Madison

He doesn't allow time to meet her very well, and is rushing it. He should wait a little while after getting over Rosaline, then he can talk to Juliet and get to know her, and then decide if she is really the right person for him.

I think that Romeo just wants love in his life and he's trying to rush that. Yes Romeo talks to the guy at the church so that the two of them can get married but I just don't think that the love is genuine. Both of them are young and dumb. - Leilani

If it weren't for this feeling or connections, it would be different, true love comes from both sides, and if they feel the same way, it could be a sign of true love.

While it may be true that Romeo does truly love Juliet, I think that it is much more likely that Romeo sought Juliet in hopes of curing his depression.

Teens may act impulsively by sneaking out to see their partner, making grand romantic gestures, or expressing intense emotions due to their deep feelings. These actions show a strong desire to demonstrate affection, even if they lack anticipation. However, eventually emotion should balance with maturity...and communication with understanding, in a "true love" situation.

Romeo has his heart set on Juliet after just seeing her right after Rosaline. Maybe he knows for sure Juliet is for him by love at first sight.

Their relationship was fast pace but when you think of their circumstances it makes scents why they would want to move fast and be quick with their actions. For example their families hated each other so if they took too long hanging and sneaking out to see each other it makes the chance of them getting caught more likely. And getting married was a good way to make sure their love was written in stone and their families couldn't do much about it.

Romeo became obsessed with Rosaline and when he thought he would never get over her, he immediately sees Juliet and decides that she is the one for him. His only argument of this is that she loves him back, which isn't much to go on. He is cleary just falling for any attractive girl he meets, and gets over them just as quickly when he sees another. - Caitlin

His initial love for Rosaline is portayed as superficial, based more on her unattainability than a deep connection. Friar Lawrence even points out that Romeo's love lies not in his heart but in his eyes, highlighting his naivety. Romeo's impulsivity is evident in his hasty decisions, such as proposing marriage to Juliet shortly after meeting her.
