I hate on Jaune for completely different reasons. However in this episode I think they put it best, that Jaune always tries some gimmick or weird attempt to try and get Weiss to like him. We the audience may find it adorable or funny, but in real life would any girl really fall for this (or at least a girl like Weiss)? There is a difference between being persistent and as said above, being a stalker. I mean the reasons Jaune says he likes her for could be applied to almost any girl, with the exception of the singing part; so how much does he really know about her? I'm sort of hoping that Weiss does take him seriously and maturely rejects him, instead of a big 'No' and a door slam. I mean if Weiss simply isn't attracted to Jaune, then it really doesn't matter how many times he tries to ask her out. Sure Jaune wants her to take him seriously, but he has to be serious first.

I also wouldn't consider Pyrrha and Jaune the same as Jaune and Weiss. Unlike Jaune, Pyrrha holds herself back because she knows he likes someone else. She encourages him to go for it and does actually give him some good advice in the process. She also helps him in his training and probably school work because he needs the help and because she is just that sort of person. However I wouldn't consider her a stalker because she spends about as much time with her team as anyone else spends with their team. Weiss and Yang helped set up the dance during their off hours, so Jaune and Pyrrha training could be considered an equivalent.
