Interview Of Romeo Montague

Do you fall in love easily? Yes, there will always be times were you just cannot resist the other person. There are certain instances when love at first sight is the only way to go, but I usually like to take it slow and get to know the girl first.

So are you in love with anybody at the moment? I've been seeing this heavenly girl for about a week now, and let me tell you, it's been great. It´s my first really serious relationship. She's a Capulet, but, as far as she and I are concerned, it doesn't matter. I can´t wait to see her at the end of the day. I´m very happy. Well, pretty happy.

As someone who´s a member of the opposing family, how does she handle it all? She's not really around it that much. She hasn't even been over to meet my family yet.

I mean, we'll have a problem if she comes up and starts telling everyone, including her family, that we're married, but I know she's not that type. She really doesn't like all that stuff. She's probably going to back well away from it.

What's she like? Her name is Juliet. She's good-looking and that's why I started talking to her. I don't go for certain types of girl - they've all been different from each other. And she is different.

Are you still as mad about her now as you were when you first met? Yeah, I still think she's just as cute. She's like the cutest thing I've ever seen in my whole life, and she's really sweet. She's also very calm - she really calms me down. She's easy going about everything and not highly strung, which I wouldn't be able to deal with.

So what's the most romantic thing you've ever done for her? Oh, boy, what a tough question. I haven't bought up a whole flower store or anything, although I just got her some flowers recently. I bought her a watch once and she loved that. I haven't climbed up a building for her or anything, either.

Do you live together? No, I live alone now. I don't think that there would be any way for us to live together, seeing as our families despise each other.

What do your parents think of her? Oh, I definitely think that is going to be a problem in our life. Both of our families don't know about us yet, and if they find out about us, I don't know what will happen. My worst fear is getting banished and thrown out on the streets by our parents, which would be just terrible! You seem to be working hard and spending a lot of time with your lady. Do you find any time to be wild these days? Seeing as I can realistically only be with Juliet at night, I am still able to do everything I need to do to fill my "quota" as a teenager, so I sort of went on a wild thing. I traveled a lot, and of course spent as much time as I could with Juliet.

Do you get fed up with the whole "Montague vs. Capulet" thing? I used to, but if I was honest, I really think it's just an opportunity to show everyone what we're made of. I think we really have a lot of stuff going on, so it's very tough to deal with. Juliet and I are the only two people from opposing families who've really made an attempt to get along. We don't want to think of it as defying our families, but worse may come to worse.

You come across as a really happy-go-lucky guy. How would you rate your life so far? Oh, I'm kind of happy-go-lucky. I haven't had a really tragic sort of life. I think I've had a lot of good luck. Juliet and I are going through a really emotional time right now as we are trying to get our families to stop fighting. But, all in all, I am doing pretty well.

How involved are your parents with your life? My father has a lot to do with it. together we do lots of things. Most importantly, however, he gives me great advice on how to live. I also have my large circle of friend, so it's not just my family.

What happens if you and your dad disagree? Ultimately it's my decision, but we usually agree. We haven't disagreed yet. I think I'm lucky to have a lot of good people around to help me decide my life, because I don't have much experience.
