In the beginning of Romeo and Juliet, it states that he is in love with Rosaline. A little later, the Capulets are having a feast. Romeo thinks it would be a good idea to go, just to see his dear Rosaline. And because he was a Montague, he and his friends wore masks to conceal their identity. At the party, Romeo caught a glimpse of Juliet, where he automatically fell in love with her, therefore forgetting Rosaline.
But his original reasoning for attending the ball was to see Rosaline, who he thought was his true love. We know this because a servant of Capulet's asks Romeo to read the guestlist to him. since the servant is illiterate. This Romeo does and reads that one of the guests will be Rosaline. Benvolio then says, " At this same ancient feast of Capulet's sups the fair Rosaline whom thou so loves with all the admired beauties of Verona. Go thither and with unattainted eye, compare her face to some that I can show, and I will make thy swan look like a crow." Romeo replies, "I'll go along, no such sight to be shown, but to rejoice in splendor of my own." In other words, Benvolio wants Romeo to look at other girls, who will take his mind off of the unattainable Rosaline, but Romeo says he will go, not to look at the other girls, but to enjoy the sight of Rosaline.

How did Romeo met rosaline?
Unfortunately that is a question that has no answer. Rosaline's role in the story of Romeo & Juliet was only meant to serve as a plot device for the telling of the story. Without having first loved Rosaline, Romeo would have never known what it was to fall in love with Juliet. It was simply through Rosaline that Romeo was able to get gain entrance into the Capulet's party, so that he could then catch a glimpse of Juliet in which he would fall in love with her. For instance, before Romeo knew Juliet, he hated the Capulets, as he was a Montague. It was the relationship he had with Rosaline that, and this is speculated through interpretation, caused Romeo to be able to view the Capulets through different eyes and begin to see with his heart, thus he didn't hate Juliet, and fell in love with her...in a love that was more mature than that which he had for Rosaline. Perhaps and earlier draft of Shakespeare's play might have set up the relationship between Romeo and Rosaline more thoroughly, in how they met.
