1. I didn't mean that Jaune literally doesn't care about Weiss. He didn't care about what she wanted, which was to not date him. He was too focused on the fact that he wanted to date her to really pay attention to and accept the fact that she did not want to date him. She even clearly told him no.

2. Excuse me, you only saw him flirting with her in the first few episodes of the show? What about in volume 2, where he was still trying to get into a relationship with her? At the beginning of V2E3 A Minor Hiccup, he tried to ask her out on a date. He asked her to go out to eat with him, go see a movie, and then study together. V2E5 Extracurricular, Jaune tried to seranade Weiss and ask her to the dance. V2E6 Burning the Candle, Jaune went to ask Weiss to the dance again, only to stumble upon her asking Neptune.

Here's the part that burns some people (mainly girls/women) up: It wasn't until he overheard Weiss ask Neptune to the dance that he finally gave up. He didn't give up because she told him no and gave him clear "I don't want to date you" signals for a semester. No, he gave up because she was taken by another guy. Guys who chase after a girl no matter how many times she says no, unless she's taken by another guy, are the exact reason single women lie to men and say "I have a boyfriend." Because some men really will not back off unless she's dating someone already. Making Jaune be that guy was not a very good move if they want him to be 100% likeable.

Now, there are people who love Jaune but hate his personal little story arcs and the way he's written in some of them.

My main gripe really is just how things went at the dance. Though, hey, it's more interesting if a character has negative aspects about them.
