Well, I have my own opinion on the matter about Ruby but I think it's not something that should be discussed. Whether Ruby is too young, or too innocent, it doesn't really matter.

I mean, I'm sure most people thought that Weiss was the last person to get a crush on someone because he's handsome but surprise! Neptune appeared and Weiss became the classic high school damsel in love with the pretty boy. If a character like that is capable of ending in that way, Ruby is also capable of falling in love despite her age and innocent behavior.

That being said, I think it all depends on how it will affect the story. Ruby is the protagonist and leader of the main characters. For a person like her, fall in love is a turning point that will affect the entire series. Dragon Ball, Naruto, Bleach, One Piece, Fairy Tail, etc. One of the things these series that made tons of chapters and success have in common is how their protagonist are not bonded to the romance department. Even Goku who married and had a child doesn't really fall in love with the woman he married, it was a big misunderstanding that ended up in Goku accepting to have a life with Chi Chi that latter grew and gave birth to Gohan. Or how Naruto had a crush on Sakura but this never changed the show nor affected the storyline or its protagonist.

Whether Ruby is bonded to fall in love with someone, I think it shouldn't happen. Mainly because her character is like the other characters mentioned. Ruby wants to be a heroine, that's her goal and she has shown to care little of her social life in the meaning that she's ok with hunting Grimm all the time without having fun with her friends. That's also something Ozpin told her, because it's not right to have that kind of ideal but this is Ruby and if she's still learning to consider to have friends in her life, love is something that is still far away from her. After all, Ruby doesn't see people in a romantic way. That's also one of the reasons why my only OTP of this show is Jaune and Ruby not in a romantic way but in a best friends way.
