Romeo's infatuation for Rosaline is comic because it is a shallow, immature love that is not based on any real understanding of Rosaline's character.
If you had a friend in a similar situation to Romeo's, you would advise them to take the time to get to know the person they are interested in, rather than just being infatuated with them. You would also advise them to think carefully about the consequences of their actions, as Romeo's impulsive behavior leads to tragedy in the play.
