I would say that Jaune is fixating on Wiess because of the following reasons:

1) Mistaking Weiss's comment for affection towards him.

2) His father's advice

3) His role is bascially a knight, and Wiess is indeed the closest thing we have to a princess/popular girl in school. I forget who suggested that idea but it seems very solid theory that he has a idea of what he wants and thinks Weiss fits the bill.

These three reasons have previously come up at some point. The newest one which I don't believe anyone else has mentioned is:

4) she's stone-walling him which only makes him more persistant because he doesn't think she's given him a fair evaluation. Kindof the same thing as Ruby/Wiess interactions where Ruby thinks she has to impress Weiss/everyone in order to make everyone like her. Pretty much - the more you deny someone something - they will think your playing hard to get and deny this fact because of the fear of failure.  They will go through the five stages of Grief until they accept  this or the situation changes. Since we have had a grand total of.. what? 3 maybe 4 days in the series, things can still develop.
