On another thread, someone made the point that Jaune seems to be fixating on the 'Knight Errant' path. In his mind, therefore, the noble knight needs a beautiful princess - Weiss, in other words - who both in culture, behaviour and actual background fits the bill. So, he's after Weiss because he's telling himself she's the girlfriend he needs for his chosen self-image.

He's totally overlooking the little plucky fighter (Ruby) and his caring mentor/best-friend (Pyrrha) and will do so until someone whacks him upside the head, either figuratively or literally.

I've never thought that Ruby x Jaune was 'twu wuv at first sight'. Ruby has a small crush on Jaune and where that may go in the future remains to be seen. Jaune admires Ruby as a warrior and a person but whether he'd ever be willing to let her out of the friend-zone, given his attitude and self-image, is another matter entirely.
