he feels that if a person doesn't like you back that their are more fish in the sea.
Nope. Romeo does, or thinks he does, not Benvolio
Rosaline. The last they heard, she was the one Romeo was after.
He loves Rosaline, but Rosaline does not love him.
He tells him Rosaline (the girl Romeo is in love with at the beginning of the play) will be there.
Benvolio was planning to go to check out the girls. He talks Romeo into coming because Rosaline, the girl who refuses to listen to Romeo's protestations of love, will be there, partying it up. Romeo's intention is to hang around Rosaline, but Benvolio is hoping that some other girl who is at the party will make Romeo forget about her. This is a plan which is more successful that Benvolio can imagine.
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.

Benvolio is referring to Romeo's unrequited love for Rosaline. Despite Romeo's infatuation with Rosaline being one-sided and causing him pain, he continues to pursue her without considering other options. Benvolio believes Romeo is "blind" to the possibility of finding love elsewhere.
Benvolio advises Romeo to forget about Rosaline and find someone new to love. He suggests that Romeo should look around and see that there are many other beautiful women in Verona worth his attention.
Benvolio believes that Romeo will get over Rosaline because he has seen Romeo quickly move on from one love interest to another in the past. Benvolio also thinks that by introducing Romeo to other women and distractions, he can help Romeo shift his focus away from Rosaline.
I think it was Benvolio

In the beginning, Benvolio tells Romeo to look at other girls and stop mooning after Rosaline who isn't interested. In order to forget Rosaline, he should go to the ball held by the Capulets and look at other girls.
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.
Benvolio tells Romeo that Rosaline will be there, and Romeo can look at her all he wants when he is there, and he can wallow in his misery at being rejected by Rosaline.
