Benvolio only says he has done this "many a morning". Also please note he apparently only stayed in his room during the daylight hours, and spent his nights in the sycamore grove where Benvolio finds him. (This should be interesting to anyone who wants to prove that Romeo was a vampire)
When Benvolio says "Then she hath sworn that she will still live chaste?" he does not mean that Rosaline is becoming a novice nun. If she were, she wouldn't be on the guestlist for a party that evening. No, by swearing that she will live chaste, he means that she is playing hard to get, and is not giving in to the demands of insistent lovers like Romeo. This kind of game was typical of flirting in Shakespeare's day.
At the beginning of the play, Romeo believes he loves Rosaline, who is determined to become a nun. In fact, Romeo attends the Capulet party in hopes of seeing Rosaline (because she is a Capulet), but instead he meets Juliet, who he also believes he loves (and perhaps he actually does).

He tells him Rosaline (the girl Romeo is in love with at the beginning of the play) will be there.
Maybe she doesn't like him. Maybe she rejects him because she is a Capulet and he is a Montague. Maybe she is just playing hard-to-get. The suggestion that she has become a nun is unsupportable. She still gets invited to parties, and Romeo still hopes that he will change her mind there. Neither would happen if she had entered a convent.
At the beginning of the play before seeing Juliette, Romeo is in love with Rosaline.
