At the opening of Romeo and Juliet, Benvolio teases Romeo about being in love with Rosaline. Romeo is having no success with Rosaline (and in fact he goes to the Capulet's ball because he believes she will be there).
We do not know if Rosaline is Romeo's first love - for all we know he may have had many girlfriends before her. But she never appears in the play, and as soon as Romeo sees Juliet he forgets all about her.
I thought that he went becasue his friend made him go!

At first, he is love sick with Rosaline, his neice, but when he attended the Capulet's ball, he instantly forgets about Rosaline and is deeply in love with Juliet, a Capulet.
Romeo's heart was broken by Rosaline before he met Juliet. Romeo was in love with Rosaline at the beginning of the play, but she did not return his affections, which left him heartbroken until he met Juliet.
he is in love with Juliet and wants to marry her
"With love's light wings" he says.
They were both Capulets. Perhaps their unattainability made them attractive to him.
Basically it was "The power of love".
In Romeo's letter to his father, he expresses his love and concern for Juliet. He explains that he cannot live without her and begs for his father's understanding and forgiveness. Romeo asks for his father's blessing for their marriage and promises to return to Verona soon.
He criticises Romeo for moving too quickly.
