What problem does Romeo have with the woman he loves in scene 1 of Romeo and Juliet?
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.

How many days did Romeo stay in his room in the beginning of the play after learning that Rosaline was going to become a nun.?
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.
