Also, no one realizes that SHE WAS ONLY 13 (well, about to be 14) and he was like 18 and went to the party to stalk her cousin... It's downright creepy when you think about it.

No. They loved each other, even if it's ridiculous and impractical. When they first met, their alternating dialogue formed a sonnet. That rhymed, and had perfect meter. Has that ever happened to you?

Actually, Shakespeare planned it that way. You DO know the story, I assume? Romeo was moping about a girl that wouldn't reproduce with him, so Benvolio convinced him to go to a party to find a hotter girl. Romeo notices Juliet...for her looks. Juliet notices Romeo...for his looks. They get married, based solely on looks. Not even a day after they meet. Even Friar said it was very soon. It's more like they were both kind of horny. Being nearly 14 meant your life was half over back then, I know, but it's not love. It's hormones telling you you need to pass on your genes. Love is meeting someone, getting to know them, enjoying everything about them. Love is not based on looks. That's lust. They killed themselves out of passion. They knew NOTHING about each other. Oh, and half the stuff in that book is in couplets.

Shakespeare planning it that way is no argument. You think the rest of the dialogue was real? The fact that their first dialogue was a sonnet was Shakespeare's way of showing they were soulmates. No other characters do that.
