Her first inclination is not to doubt. "Dost thou love me? I know thou wilt say "ay" and I will take thy word." But as that particular speech goes on she remembers that sometimes guys will say they love and even swear it but not mean it. Indeed, she is even more suspicious of those who swear their love: "At lover's perjuries, they say Jove laughs", "Swear not by the moon", and "Do not swear at all." She is not playing by the book; she worries that Romeo might misunderstand this but at the same time she does not want him to play by the book either. The standard procedure is for the male to protest loud and long that he loves, supported by all the holy vows of heaven, and the female is to turn a disdainful shoulder and put him off. Juliet is not playing cool (as Rosaline did) and she does not want Romeo to play the lover (as he did with Rosaline) with her. That is why she objects when he starts off "Lady, by yonder blessed moon I swear . . ."; that's the sort of speech insincere lovers make.
