6. Ruby was the first to inspire Oscar and also kick his ass 1) He was only really shy when they spoke the first time....and at that time he wasn't talking to just Ruby, he was surrounded by like 5 people including her, most of which were 3+ years older than him, and all of them were Huntsmen(-in-training for RNJR).

He, meanwhile, Ozpin aside, was just a 14 year old farmboy who barely has an idea of what he's walking into. Of course he was going to be shy.

When he does speak to Ruby alone later on, weeks later, he isn't really shy.

2) He has only been shown worried about her over the others once, though. When she KOd herself in the Battle of Haven, while Weiss had just been speared. And even then he saw Jaune rushing to Weiss, so Ruby was a bigger concern since she was alone at the moment.

Before that, the closest we have to Oscar worrying about Ruby was when he yelled at her for seemingly not giving a fuck about Penny or Pyrrha's deaths, let alone the whole conflict with Salem.

3) You mean, to every single one of her friends, right? Oscar is far from the only person who has heard Ruby's generic friendship speeches.

In fact, he has heard said generic friendship speeches the least out of everyone in their group.

4) Aren't stolen glances supposed to be subtle? And not supposed to be "looking at someone when you're talking to them".

When has Oscar looked at Ruby in a subtle manner, in a situation where he wasn't expected/supposed to look at her?

And more importantly, when has Ruby looked at Oscar in a subtle manner, in a situation where she wasn't expected/supposed to look at him?

5) Yeah. So can Jaune. So can Nora. Even Weiss and Qrow. Should we ship them all with Oscar too?

6) Pretty sure the first person to inspire Oscar was Ozpin. And kicking his ass means nothing.

If anything, it's a reason to not ship them, given how:

1> Oscar first punched her in the face by accident, and made her stumble back a bit. Ruby responded by punching him hard enough to send him flying back.

2> After Oscar punched her in the face, he inmediately apologized for it. After Ruby punched Oscar in the face, she laughed at his face.

Truly, that's the perfect example of a loving relationship.
