However, Weiss and Pyrrha seem to be blips on Jaune's radar. Jaune has been flirting with Weiss (woefully unsuccessfully) and there is a huge dance coming up, so this may yet be his chance. Pyrrha however has been nothing but nice to him and giving him loads of support and trying hard to get his attention (and has for the most part succeeded) and Jaune really seems to care about her too (he was willing to do all of Cardin's dirty work, but as soon as he saw Pyrrha, he stopped).

So it is split between Weiss and Pyrrha as the most likely ships this volume. Maybe, but I still think Ruby has as much chance with Jaune as Pyrrha. Mainly because if we talk about close relationships, Pyrrha is a little bit closer to Jaune because she is his partner. But Ruby is also close friends with Jaune, not enough to learn about the fake transcripts but to know that Cardin got him on the leash. I guess it all depends on how Jaune sees them. Ruby is more like a good friend, maybe because she is younger than him, Jaune doesn't really see her as a woman and girlfriend material but more like a good chick friend. Prove is on the fact that when he helped Ruby, he did it because he wanted to be friends with her instead of taking advance on the situation to get on her good side to flirt with her later.

Pyrrha on the other hand, he tried to flirt with her as soon as he heard that he could have other two hot chicks on his team. Jaune is confident with the ladies, he just lacks self esteem when it comes to fighting but if it's Pyrrha or any other girl, he would most likely flirt with them if they are hot.

What I'm saying is that, Ruby is not on Jaune's radar but because of that, Jaune won't make mistakes with Ruby by trying to flirt with her or act all macho and get mad at her. He doesn't see the need to act like that with a friend so Ruby would get to know him better and Jaune would grow fond of her.
