Romeo and Juliet before they meet?

Romeo is well-known around Verona - even Old Capulet has heard of him (as we find out in the argument Old Capulet has with Tybalt in the Ball scene).

But Romeo has never seen Juliet before he meets her at Old Capulet's ball. This is surprising in a town as small as Verona.

Perhaps Old Capulet has kept Juliet at home most of the time. This would make sense: she is his only surviving child, and she seems very naive in the ways of the world until she meets Romeo. (When Lady Capulet asks her if she wants to marry Paris, Juliet seems not to have given the matter much thought).

But once Juliet has chosen Romeo she does everything she can so that they can be married without a moment's hesitation. Juliet grows up fast, and - like most of Shakespeare's heroines - she knows what she wants.
