Explanation:

The main difference to me is that Romeo's "love" in Act I, Scene 1 is a sad love because it is not returned by Rosaline. You can argue that it is less mature as well.  The event that occurred to make Romeo feel unhappy in this act is that Rosaline does not love him as he loves her. By Act II, Scene 2, Romeo's love is returned, this time by Juliet.  He is now happy.  This is because he met Juliet at the dance and she clearly loved him as he loved her.

To me, the main linguistic device that Shakespeare uses to contrast the two emotions is seen in what Romeo compares the women to.  Rosaline is compared to the moon, which is pale and cold.  Juliet is compared to the sun which is warm and bright and which drives the moon away.

The event that caused Romeo to feel this way for Juliet is totally and completely the visual sight of her and the reaction that happens within him upon seeing her beauty. He was instantly mesmerized. Upon Juliet's returning love, I believe both audiences believe their circumstance to be at the very least infatuation because we see that puppy love in teenagers all the time. That attraction is very physical, emotional and as Juliet comments, "too rash, too sudden, [and] too ill-advised".
