I actually agree with 66.227.143.86

There's a difference between liking someone and LIKING someone. And I think it's no more than liking, as a friend, in this case. They're friendly, he's the first friend she made at Beacon, of course she's going to concider him for a teammate and of course she's going to help him up. What kind of friend wouldn't?

In short, I kind of think that people who see a current romantic interest between these two are projecting something they hope will happen for these two. And I'm not saying the show might not evolve in that direction, I'm just saying I don't think they've got a current romantic interest and that Ruby is definitely not teen-crushing hard on Jaune.

I honestly noticed no swooning or crushing or falling for or ... between these two. Not in dialogue and not in body language. And yes, I'm just as viable for the retort that I might be just as biased to 'not see' the evidence as I claim others are in seeing evidence I think is not there. But, if anything, we can see that 'pairing' in this show isn't all that subtle so far. The ones who do have an interest seem to show this pretty clearly, like Jaune going after Weiss or Pyrrha taking a liking to Jaune.
