Romeo is so depressed at the beginning of the play due to the fact that Rosaline is uninterested in marriage and having a "boyfriend." Or at least she's not interested in having Romeo as a boyfriend.

Romeo is depressed at the beginning of the play because he is in love with a girl named Rosaline, who does not return his feelings. He feels rejected and hopeless until he meets Juliet and falls in love with her.
