Arkos was a thing for him over the space of approximately a single day(the entire Volume 3 spans maybe a month at most, likely less than or closer to a week), He was still hitting on Weiss almost up to that point. When "no means no" takes him so long to grasp why would the ability to recognise his strengths and flaws and the acceptance of both be a lesson he learns in the span of a week at most?

At Jaune's rate of development Self-respect of the sort you are describing is simply not in his character. Furthermore; he is still a teenager, is it really so hard to believe he shares Qrows weakness?(miniskirts)  As a guy I can tell you that isn't something we tend to grow out of... if someone is interested and Jaune finds them attractive it is 100% believeable he would allow it to go farther(as in dating them) so long as he doesn't sense instability or compatability issues.

Your entire argument is boiling down to "no-one dates someone they don't know/respect" which is so bullshit I expect I could find proof to the contrary IRL by asking four random people their dating history. People make mistakes, especially when it comes to relationships, despite what we may wish or how intelligent/experienced we may be. RWBY is not a teen drama and jaune is already an adult in Volume 4 (between 18 and 19 years) in the midst of a bloody world war that promises to become or possible end of the world. after the death of the first person who believed in him and who had a stronger (whether romantic or not) relationship with her loose murderer (which became a kind of just God front and eyes), after months see villages destroyed and people killed by tales if you can ignore the trailer volume 4. so you think that would not mature at all to jaune and this would remain the same teenager looking for a relationship with a cool girl to get up self-esteem (which already Volume 2 was ceasing to be), which has other things to worry about.

that's stupid, what happened to jaune has to progressively more mature and focused, what you propose is that jaune not only should not ripen but must eliminate its character development to have a superficial relationship and cliche no longer matches the tone of the series that would make him look bad, besides that it is too early,

before jaune  have any new romance jaune should have a few volumes of mourning in respect pyrrha otherwise would be tacky and then jaune and should have fully matured, so if a relationship starts would have to be reasons for mature adult with someone jaune has shared screen time from the start. not someone come out of nowhere for superficial reasons immediately after the death of someone who loved him, jaune is a character in evolution that is maturing, what you propose would seem like a child incapable man mature, whose experience does not they taught nothing and ruin his past character development as future
