What was Romeo's view of love in Act 1, scene 1-3 of Romeo and Juliet?

Montague
begins Shakespeare's
already completely smitten . . . but with a woman who
is not ! In
act I, scene i,and the audience both learn that Romeo is pining over a woman
named
Rosaline, who will not accept his advances, as she has sworn to "live
chaste" (i.e.,
never have sex). Romeo is lovesick and heartbroken and refuses
to let Benvolio "teach him
to forget," as he believes it will be impossible
for him to move on. It is clear from their
exchange that Romeo is a romantic,
in that when he loves he gives himself over to it completely,
but his
position on love at the start of the play is a negative one, as so far in his life
all
love has done is hurt him.

In scene ii, Romeo and
Benvolio intercept an
invitation to the Capulet's ball. Benvolio thinks this
will be a great opportunity for Romeo to
find someone else, but Romeo
disagrees and says he will only go because he knows Rosaline will
be there,
still singing his same tune from scene i.
