Early this morning, I ran into Romeo and wondered why he was awake at such an early hour. He then told me that he did not sleep last night. I assumed he was up all night because of Rosaline but he says he has moved on to a new love, the daughter of Capulet. I told him he is too inconsistent when it comes to love and that women are not going to be able to depend on him; they need stability. This seemed to make him angry because I told him to forget Rosaline but I did not tell him to go fall in love with someone he barely knows. He says he loves her so much and asks me to secretly marry them. They need to think about all of the factors and consequences of this situation this "love" they share. It may not only trigger another brawl between their families, but it will, most likely, cause many more deaths, maybe even their own. Although I do not believe they actually fell in love in one night, I will help them with their wedding and marry them if that is what they truly want, but they need to be careful and take things slower.
Romeo is a very fickle man when it comes to love because I believe he does not know what it means to truly be in love with someone. Only yesterday he was convinced he was "in love" with Rosaline but in a matter of hours he claims to have found an entirely new and pure "love." Romeo does not understand love; he puts the woman he "loves" on a pedestal and makes too high of expectations and too high of standards for the woman to fulfill. He seems to "fall in love" in a matter of minutes with someone he barely even knows. He has not only done this once but twice now which shows incredible fickleness and instability. Now he is asking me to marry him to the thirteen year old daughter of his rival with whom he is "in love." He needs to understand that women cannot rely on an unreliable man especially when it comes to love. True loves never dies but only gets stronger through time.
