Such a romance, while cute, would need a lot of time and proper handling from the writers to not feel forced. I doubt we'll see romance at all in RWBY. It's just not that type of show.

For now, I don't see Ruby interested in romance in the slightest. She has other priorities, not to mention bigger worries in her mind. Also, even though she's matured somewhat in some areas since Volume 1, I still don't feel she's ready for a romantic relationship.

As for Jaune, he obviously still has Pyrrha in the brain, wondering about what ifs, and missed chances, and what exactly were his feelings for her. He needs more time to work through all that. Also, I don't believe Jaune is ready for a romance either. First he needs to grow past his feelings of inadequacy, or he'll be always second-guessing whether he deserves to be with whatever girl he ends with.

What I don't get is people calling it an asspull ship. That's ridiculous. Love has no logic and can come in many ways from many places. At this point in time, Jaune and Ruby have been friends for a lot of time; and this trip means they're gonna spend a lot ot time together for who knows how long, likely going together through trying situations in the meanwhile. At the very least, they're gonna have a very close relationship, which could believably grow into love in the right circumstances. There are people who ship Jaune/Blake, Jaune/Yang, or Ruby/Weiss, and they're much more unlikely ships (in the case of Ruby and Weiss, I just mean that neither of them has shown even the slightest hint of being romantically interested in girls).
