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.
As described by Shakespeare, Romeo was surely infatuated by rosaline, but when he met Juliet he realized what true love is.
Friar Lawrence thinks that Romeo has been with Rosaline instead of with Juliet because he doesn't know yet that Romeo has fallen for Juliet and does not love Rosaline any more. Romeo and Rosaline used to be lovers, but now that Romeo has met Juliet, he doen't love Rosaline any longer. Therefore, he assumes that Romeo has been with Rosaline for the night because he doesn't know that they are not in love any more.
Benvolio advises Romeo to forget about Rosaline (Romeo's love before he met juliet) and go to the Capulet's party to find another girl
Rosaline is the girl that Romeo loved before he met Juliet. She is only in the beginning of the play and she is only mentioned; she doesn't actually say anything. Romeo chooses to go to the Capulet's party because he thinks he will see Rosaline there. Except Rosaline doesn't love Romeo back
Benvolio is fed up because his best mate Romeo is lovesick and complaining all the time that he is in love with a girl who doesn't love him back. Benvolio needs a way of putting Romeo off Rosaline so things can go back to normal.. So he tells Romeo that the Capulet feast will be the perfect opportunity to compare Rosaline with the other beautiful women of Verona and says Romeo's beloved Rosaline will look like a crow amongst swans. Romeo agrees to go with him, but only because Rosaline herself will be there.
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.

Romeo was truly in love with Rosaline (even if "Romeo and Rosaline" don't sound as good together). Romeo was crushed when Rosaline dumped him and decided to stay a virgin for the rest of her life. He couldn't go on without the love of his love, Rosaline... then he met Juliet, and you know.
Romeo should attend the Capulet party because it presents an opportunity for him to see Rosaline, the woman he is infatuated with. Additionally, attending the party allows him to socialize, have fun, and potentially distract himself from his unrequited love for Rosaline.

Yes. He says "If I profane with my unworthiest hand . . ."
Rosaline. The last they heard, she was the one Romeo was after.
well. she's a useless character really, but the fact that she would attend the Capulet party is the reason why Romeo went in the first place, where he met Juliet and never remembered his infatuaion with Rosaline again.
