Romeo may be pining for Rosaline, but Rosaline doesn't care about him. He is "out of her favour, where he is in love." Some people interpret the line "then she hath sworn that she will still live chaste" to mean that she is becoming a nun, and so will not ever go out with him. However, this is a misunderstanding. She is chaste now and has sworn that she will remain so for now. She will "still live chaste" not "forever live chaste".

If Rosaline were a nun it would be an outrage to pursue her amourously which is exactly what Romeo is going to the Capulet party to do. To see what kind of outrage, check out Shakespeare's play Measure for Measure.
