I'm not sure if clueless is the word to describe Jaune. More like he is blinded by Weiss so she's the only girl in his eyes. Pyrrha does not even act like a friend, she acts like a mother for him. Instead of actually doing something, she acts like a good tutor, comrade and mentor. Besides, as much as you may call her hot, beautiful, cheerful, smart and most of all: nice person, that doesn't mean that he has to be in love with her or be called an idiot for not liking her. Team RWBY is not different from that. They're also nice girls but he chose Weiss, that's all that has to be discussed about that.

What I really want to discuss is that Jaune is just acting like he always does. He is the audience surrogate, not the favorite character but the one most people can relate to. He has a big high school crush on Weiss and is not only a simple: She's hot. No, Jaune does really likes her, Weiss keeps rejecting him and being cold to him but that's precisely why he doesn't give up. Weiss has opened herself to other people but he is still in the same ship, she doesn't even considers him a friend nor take him seriously. Jaune is aware that it's just how Weiss is like but we all have seen that he is not the kind of guy that gives up on what he wants, I believe that if he would have tried to be honest from the very beginning, even if rejected anyway, at least Weiss would acknowledge him.

That is actually what I'm expecting from those two. I ship arkos but I would love to see Jaune and Weiss having a moment and becoming friends.
