Tanjiro knew Zenitsu Agatsuma was simply attracted to Nezuko's beauty, hence his desire to be with her.
Therefore, Tanjiro didn't believe Zenitsu was someone Nezuko could entrust her life to.
Tanjiro already had someone in mind, and that person was Ryuji.
Regardless of whether Ryuji liked Nezuko, based on his reliable character, Nezuko would be safe with him.
"Zenitsu, do you truly like Nezuko?" Ryuji asked seriously.
Zenitsu's expression also turned serious. After a moment of thought, he nodded affirmatively. "Yes!"
"If you truly like Nezuko, you must gain Tanjiro's approval as her brother! You must prove to Tanjiro that you're the man Nezuko can entrust her life to!" Ryuji said to Zenitsu.
Tanjiro was taken aback. Was Ryuji playing matchmaker?
After hearing Ryuji's words, Zenitsu looked at Tanjiro, apparently considering whether he could shoulder such a responsibility.
"But can a {demon} truly feel emotions for a human?" Zenitsu felt uncertain about Nezuko, a {demon}.
Ryuji nodded. "Nezuko has feelings for me and Tanjiro. If you truly like Nezuko, join us and find a way to turn her back into a human."
"Can Nezuko become human again?" Zenitsu was surprised. He had never heard of a {demon} turning back into a human.
"It's possible!"
—"I've introduced Tanjiro's sister to you, and I've played matchmaker! What you do next is up to you! Don't say I didn't give you a chance!" Ryuji changed the subject.
Ryuji's matchmaking was partly to use Nezuko to bring Zenitsu into their group and partly to fulfill his promise to Zenitsu at Mount Fujikasane.
Ryuji knew from the anime that Zenitsu would undergo a transformation and become a powerful user of the Thunder Breathing style.
Ryuji naturally wanted to recruit such a powerful comrade.
Zenitsu fell into deep thought. From Ryuji's words, he understood that getting together with Nezuko would be extremely difficult.
Tanjiro didn't know Ryuji's plan, but seeing Zenitsu's thoughtful expression, he knew he was seriously considering it. Such a serious attitude showed Zenitsu was taking this very seriously.
As Zenitsu was pondering, Tanjiro's expression changed. "Ryuji, I sense a {demon}'s presence!"
Ryuji patted Zenitsu on the shoulder. "Let's put Nezuko aside for now. If you're willing, you'll have many opportunities to see her in the future!"
Then, Ryuji looked at Tanjiro and gestured for him to lead the way.
Without hesitation, Tanjiro shouldered the box, grabbed Nezuko, and darted towards the depths of a forest like an arrow.
Ryuji immediately followed. Zenitsu, a beat behind, saw Tanjiro and Ryuji dash into the forest and, frightened, shouted and chased after them.
"Wait for me!"
