Dude, girls are sharing creatures. Look at the recent RvB episode where Tucker and Epsilon-Church apologize. No saying sorry, no talking about feelings. Just saying what's on their minds, then the offer of beer. Yang and Blake are female. One of the things known about women is that they quite typically are more open to sharing things - I'm not speaking from generalizations either. One of the things I've learned while researching depression is that women are more likely to either seek help from friends or attempt methods of suicide that have a lower success rate as a cry for help. Men do not often seek help, and are more likely to go for the most brutal things.

This is basically a case of dudes who don't know each other very well talking about how one guy can get a girl, and it's not an easy circumstance. Add onto that Ren... well, being Ren - quiet, cut off regularly - and you have the basis for an awkward interaction. If you're arguing that Ren is gay because he doesn't want to talk about girls, there are hundreds of reasons why he might not want to talk on the topic, not just that. If you're arguing that they don't have a bad relationship, then listen to what Jaune says. The two of them are friends by proximity, not by interaction. Think about it that way. I'm not claiming either. I'm claiming that Ren wouldn't have any experience with getting a girl, and thus surprised when he is asked on how to, not that he doesn't necessarily want to. Also, what implies a bad relationship? They both admit that they felt that they have bonded over the past few months, there must be some extensive interaction, even if not shown on screen. And even if they were friends merely by proximity, it seems this interaction wouldn't have much likelihood to happen in the first place. Jaune seems to have trust issues, refer to the Jaune arc in Volume 1; not being able to come to his teammates for help.
