Jaune had, at that point, already made the active decision to stop hitting on Weiss the way he had been doing and UNDERSTOOD that his behaviour had been out of place.

Also Jaune's flirting towards Weiss was not half the big deal a whole bunch off people made/keep making it to be. It's normal teenage behaviour. I flirted with at least two guys on a similar way when I was in Secondary School. -I have no idea of what kind of sick, twisted school you went to, but in all my time in school, no one ever tried to "conquer" a girl by harrasing her with suave moves and pickup lines even when the girl made it clear she wasn't interested.

And if you actually did that with at least 2 guys....

-On the subject of when Jaune stopped hitting on Weiss (Which was barely before the dance began, let's be honest here. They even showed him going to try one more time with Weiss with that rose) ...I've seen people complain about that. Though not for Jaune stopping, but for his reasons.

Basically, the old part of the Bro Code of "You can go after any girl you want, but if another guy won her before you, you cannot keep flirting with her".

Making it seem like Jaune just stopped hitting on Weiss not because he learned anything, but because Neptune "won" her before Jaune could. Whoah, Rozen watch it out. Are you sure sitting up at such heigh is safe? Be careful our your horse might take a turn too fats and you might fall on your ass.

You might want to recheck the definition of harassment.


 * Underweight 13-14 years old me*Asking a year older rugby player out*Such treat*In front of his  friends*Max 5 times in a year*Guy at least two heads taller than me*Me can't run three blocks without suffocating*Very agressive*ask him different things each time*That's exactly why he invited me over to help him study*

Just that Jaune's words to Neptune during the dance (and even before with Ren and Pyrrha) make it clear he stopped because he saw Weiss was not interested in him, not because "Neptune". Had Neptune not been there, Jaune was clearly just going to talk to Weiss on a straightforward way and when Weiss rejected him he would have walked off.

Here is another thing: people keep giving the whole "Jaune insistently hit on Weiss despite she telling him she was not interested in him" when it's more of a "Jaune asked Weiss for a certain activity, Weiss said no to that activity, Jaune suggested something else, Weiss said no again". Jaune isn't a random classmate asking her, there is a friendship between JNPR and RWBY; even if each member of each team isn't friends with each member of the other team, there is a relationship in between them all where they hang out with each other in a friend-of-a-friend kind of way. It's not out of this planet to approach a friend-of-a-friend and ask them to maybe do something together outside of the friend-of-a-friend group.

All this nonsense would have ended way faster if Weiss had old Jaune "I am not interested in hanging out with you outside of the friendship between our teams" or "I am not interested in spending time with you." or something along those lines. Been on both the giving and receiving ends of that kind of sentences, the world is still standing and there is no more drama in it than before they were said.

And no, that's not invalidating her noes to his asking outs, it's saying perhaps sometimes communicating requires the use of something more than a monosyllable, perhaps bothering with the building of an entire structured sentence.

Neither is resting all the responsibility on Weiss, it would also have been way shorter if Jaune could take a hint. But the reality is Jaune is dense, Weiss knows him enough to realise he is dense, and thus should have been perfectly capable of taking action considering this fact. Instead of sitting on the "I'm annoyed chair" and do nothing about it when she perfectly could have sorted out the situation.
