Almost since the start, I've thought that any Ruby x Jaune ship will happen only some time into the show, possibly close to the climax.

That said, they've got the cutest little platonic relationship building up with Ruby trying to help Jaune deal with the consequences of his stupid stunts and always offering a shoulder to lean on (literally, after that psycho amazon nearly turned him into a shish-kabob). Notice that, when Yang was teasing her in episode 3, Ruby didn't deny that Jaune was her friend, preferring to fret about the crash-and-burn (literally) with Weiss.

I think that things are going to get awkward after the teams are announced and they become rivals. However, towards the climax, looking into the face of Oblivion Itself may make other considerations seem like the irrelevancies that they are.

We'll just have to wait and see.
