I can't see Emerald respecting Jaune enough, let alone wanting a relationship. Remember her reaction to RWBY was that their group was too happy and Naïve, and Jaune, while showing moments of tactical brilliance, is typically characterized as an oblivious idiot. While I don't see him staying stupid, I don't see him picking up the level of "street smarts" necessary to develop that relationship farther than a grudging respect. Let me rephrase, they won't be antagonistic initially, they'd hate each other, and probably spend a bit of their meeting fighting each other. If Jaune beats Emerald's mind tricks, she might have enough of a respect to be receptive. When Cinder ditches her, she might feel guilt-ridden from causing so much damage for nothing, and the next time she meets up with Jaune she'll probably feel sorry for what happened to Pyrrha, but Jaune isn't ready to forgive her.
