The age objection doesn't really carry a lot of water because even at the beginning of the series she was already at the age of consent for most of Europe and now she would be legal in most states and nearly all of Europe. Ruby just doesn't easily fit into that role because she is a Luffy or Goku-type character who just seems too dense and pure to sustain anything resembling a real romance. She may not be so dense and pure that she thinks marriage is a type of food or could stand buck naked in front of a crowd completely consisting of the opposite sex without a hint of nervousness, but enough that even imagining her entertaining amorous emotions for anyone is difficult.
