That would make seeing jaune as a superficial idiot who did not learn anything with your time with pyrrha about the importance of people to see you beyond your strength and prestige, you would see the same casanova idiot who was in the volume one, but much worse, ruin his character development and would seem that not matured at all it would also seem insensitive and disrespectful to the memory of pyrrha.

not to mention that it would be a forced and superficial relationship that would make everyone involved look bad. this has to be one of the worst choices I've heard

You are grossly overestimating his development... 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.
