I wouldn't say any of Ruby's interactions with any character thus far could be seen as having any type of romantic feelings toward one or the other, but I can agree that she tends to show more emotion toward female characters than male, but that's only because the only guy (other than Ozpin and Port) that she's truly interacted with is Jaune, and it's obvious she looks up to him more as like a dorky older brother than anything else, like pretty much everyone else on the show (aside from Pyrrha). She seems to feel for Sun when Blake rejects him the first time, and she seems to be on Team JauneXWeiss when the two were discussing Weiss inititally being alone at the dance. The only character she's really had a very strong, emotional conversation with thus far is Penny, but it's very hard to make any type of assumption about that relationship because Penny is, after all, an android, and we're still not exactly sure how her emotions "work".

To me, it seems as though Ruby is more concerned with her schoolwork, combat, and just getting keeping her friendships than dipping her feet in the dating pool, and she seems to be totally uninterested in boys, dates, dressing up, and the whole nine yards. I'm kind of thinking that, at this point in the show, Ruby is just asexual, which would be an interesting contrast to Yang, who I personally believe to be pansexual.
