One of my other arguments for Nora and Ren:

I think that they are extremely close, and best friends above anything else. But I also think that they have feelings for each other. Maybe they've developed recently, or the feelings have been there for a while (But were thought to be just loving them as a friend, when they were actually more). At the begininng, when Nora started talking about them being 'together' but not 'together, together', she seemed to hesitate before she added 'What was I thinking?!'. Like she was waiting for him to respond and see his reaction. And then added how ridiculous what she just said was, so he wouldn't suspect otherwise.

And when Jaune commented on how he thought they were together (dating): 1) This implies that the two are obviously extremely close, to the point where people think that they're dating. 2) Ren's reaction. While it seemed like possible discomfort, it more so seemed to me that Jaune had hit the nail on the head. Ren kind of acted like he had got caught doing something wrong ... OR that he was called out on having feelings for Nora. And the shock of someone seeing said feelings, and him not knowing how to reply (And not wanting to lie if he was pushed towards an answer) spurred that uncomfortable reaction. That or 3) he just realized that he may have romantic feelings for Nora, and hadn't really thought about it before Jaune mentioned them dating.

And Nora's reaction. She said that they weren't actually 'together together', but she looked like she DID have feelings for Ren, and had a face of ... regret? that they weren't together. Or that she wanted to be 'together together' but they weren't.

Basically, I think that they are really close friends, but they have romantic feelings for each other. And they either haven't really acknowleged those feelings themselves, or they both know that they like each other, and haven't acted on it out of fear/awkwardness/whatever reason they have.
