In his mind, therefore, the noble knight needs a beautiful princess - Weiss, in other words. In culture, behaviour and actual background, Weiss fits the 'princess' 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 think he'll be horrified when Ren, in a puzzled tone of voice, asks him why he's pursuing Weiss when he already has a girlfriend (Pyrrha).

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. Think your reading too much into it. Jaune is interested in Weiss because of what he overheard her say about him (and not having picked up on the sarcasm) nothing more, it's just meant to be played for laughs. And again I'm asking where people are getting this ruby has feelings for him thing.. there's nothing there. No crush, no body language or anything like that people are just seeing what they want to.
