Actually,
to be totally frank, there is one school of thought that says we never really find out ifhad
'true love' for each other. Theof the play ' and 'byis, of course, that they both die so young
that they (and we) never get to find out if it was lasting love or infatuation. Romeo, though,
knows what infatuative 'love' is. It is more like 'love of self' and often people are in love
with the way the other special person makes them feel, rather than experiencing a 'giving' kind
of love which relies more on caring for the other person and their needs. Many readers like to
believe that Romeo has already experienced this kind of infatuative love and so would recognise
it if turned up again - if his love for Juliet feels different, then we can hope he realises it
is not the same as the superficial feelings he had for Rosaline.

Compare the love that Romeo feels for Juliet with the love he felt for Rosaline.
