He exhibits this this impetuousness through quickly forgetting about Rosaline. One minute he is madly in love with her, but the next minute he has moved on to Juliet. Friar Lawrence shows how old age comes with wiseness, because he can’t even believe that Romeo has already moved on from Rosaline by saying, “God pardon sin! Wast thou with Rosaline?”(II.iii.47) After dating Juliet, Romeo decides quickly that he wants to marry her.
Throughout the first few scenes of the play Romeo would talk about his “love” Rosaline. Romeo wasn’t going to get over her, but his friend Benvolio knew that he needed to so he suggested that they go to the party that Peter invited them to so Romeo would seek out other girls: “But in that crystal scales let there be weighed Your lady’s love against some other maid That I will show you shining at this feast, And she shall scant show well that now seems best” (1.2.103-106). Romeo agrees to go to the party, but not to look at other girls, rather to rejoice in Rosaline's beauty. If he wasn’t so caught up in Rosaline then Benvolio maybe wouldn’t have told him to go to the party which would then lead to Romeo and Juliet not meeting.

Romeo was madly in love with Rosaline, but quickly forgotten her and started loving Juliet.
