    Friar Laurence is reluctant for several reasons. One, these two kids' families are enemies, and he could get in a great deal of trouble by doing this behind their backs. Second, Romeo has been in love before. Friar scolded him for being so silly in his claims of loving different women. Prior to attending the dance Romeo was in love with Rosaline. His reason for going to the dance was to look at Rosaline because there was no one else in the world for him to love. Third, this arrangement seems to be in haste, and he is concerned with how quickly they are moving. He warns them of the speed at which they are taking their relationship.
