Like Jaric said.

Tai was concerned about Ruby, enough to literally drop her breakfast in the floor and go sprinting out of the house when he saw her goodbye note on her bed. When Oobleck asked if he had thought about going after her, Tai looked toward Yang's bedroom window and said that there were things he had to take care of, indicating that he stayed because he had to take care of Yang, who he felt couldn't make the journey at the time. He's probably confident that Yang can find Ruby, so he let her go do it.

I do believe that Tai had been avoiding telling her about the Silver-Eyed Warriors specifically because he didn't want her to suffer the same fate as Summer. That would be why he was annoyed when Qrow asked to talk to her alone - because he knew that Qrow was about to tell her about it.

Also, Qrow didn't follow Ruby because he was concerned... Did you miss the fact that Qrow deliberately nudged Ruby toward Haven Academy? He told her that the enemy's trail leads to Haven, and when he told her that it'd be quite a trip for someone like here, he winked. Qrow followed her because he wanted her to go to Haven, he was gonna go there anyway, and he knew that she might run into trouble along the way. He baited her into it. I'm not saying that Jaune was right about Qrow using her as bait, but I am saying that he intentionally pushed her to Haven.
