When Lady Capulet asks Juliet how she feels about marriage, she said "It is an honor that i dream not of". Juliet isn't interested. She will give Paris a look for her mother's sake, "but no more will [she] endart [her] eye/ than [her mother] gives it consent to fly"--something like that. That's a promise she sure didn't keep.
