Romeo and Juliet

Infer what the Friar means when he tells Romeo, “If so, then young men love not with their hearts but with their eyes. Jesus and Mary, you cried so many tears for Rosaline! So many salty tear-drops wasted, seasoning a love you never even tasted.”

Act 2. Scene 3. 69-72

I believe that the Friar is alluding to Romeo's fickle heart.... that the love he feels is that of attraction and passion, rather than the deep and abiding emotion that accompanies true love.
