It's rather uncharacteristic of him actually. Capulet, in his interview with Paris just the day before, has said that Juliet, at 13, is too young to marry, and he thinks they should wait until she is 16. He says that if Paris is able to get Juliet to love him at the party, he might reconsider. All in all, he's pretty cold to Paris's suit. We have no reason to believe that Paris was given any encouragement by Juliet who spent most of the party looking at Romeo. He's still looking to woo her, complaining, "These times of woe afford no time to woo."
Then out of the blue Capulet says, "Sir Paris I will make a desperate tender of my child's love." Why? Why is he desperate?
This is where directors have to make things up to explain.

Juliet's father asks Paris to wait to marry Juliet because he wants her to be emotionally ready for marriage and believes she is too young. He also wants to ensure that the marriage will secure a good future for Juliet without rushing into a decision.
