If romeo is just interested in Juliet for now and not for later, which would hurt her, the nurse says that it's wrong because juliet is young and vulnerable!.

I'm thinking the nurse is saying: if you (romeo) get her (juliet) to fall in love with you and you get the intimacy part of it!.!.!.respect her and the situation, and don't take the fact that she's young for granted!. "Intercourse" is not something to be taken lightly and that he shouldn't try to mess with her because that is sickening on his part!.

- I don't know if that is correct but i tried!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It sounds to me like she's saying to not lead Juliet on and not take advantage of her!. Don't lead her into 'a fool's paradise' meaning don't make her believe that the relationship you have is based on love if you don't love her!. Don't make her think that the world is a great and wonderful place and then make it all come crashing down!. That would be my interpretation!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The nurse is telling Romeo not to mess around with Juliet's heart considering she is so young!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
