Juliet was desperate because she found herself in a dire situation after secretly marrying Romeo, the heir of the Montague family, which was feuding with her own family, the Capulets. When Romeo was banished for killing Tybalt, Juliet feared losing him forever and felt trapped by her family's expectations to marry Paris. Her desperation intensified when she learned that her only escape was to take a potion, leading her to a risky plan that ultimately resulted in tragedy.

What happend to Paris in Romeo and Juliet?

They accidentally meet outside Friar Lawrence's cell. This is very possibly the first time they have talked to one another. Paris is saying how he is looking forward to the wedding, which, if Juliet were actually interested in marrying him as he has been led to believe, would be a pleasant compliment to her. As it is, she replies guardedly, which puzzles him. Probably Paris's talk makes Juliet even more desperate than she was before.

Why does Juliet's father ask Paris to wait to marry Juliet?

It's rather uncharacteristic of him actually. Capulet, in his interview with Paris just the day before, has said that Juliet, at 13, is too young to marry, and he thinks they should wait until she is 16. He says that if Paris is able to get Juliet to love him at the party, he might reconsider. All in all, he's pretty cold to Paris's suit. We have no reason to believe that Paris was given any encouragement by Juliet who spent most of the party looking at Romeo. He's still looking to woo her, complaining, "These times of woe afford no time to woo." Then out of the blue Capulet says, "Sir Paris I will make a desperate tender of my child's love." Why? Why is he desperate? This is where directors have to make things up to explain.
