It's more simple than that. One can only wonder how these two would interact and that leads to shipping. I understand wha JayHart means since Cardin only gets paired with Velvet but that's because she's the only girl he has interacted with. There are even yaoi fanfics and fanart about JaunexCardin because of the same reason.

Ren came up with a childhood friend. Of course, Renora is the one most people talk about but that doesn't mean people are not curious as to how Ren would interact with the other girls like we've seen when he talks to Yang (Hell! Yang is the only girl apart from Nora who has talked to him and because of it, she's the only other girl he's paired with the most). As a result, Ren is also wrote as a harem king in some fanfics and fanarts.

Sun and Neptune are like Ren and Cardin. Sun is paired with Blake the most but it's also paired with some other girls like Penny simply because they appeared together in the ending credits despite not knowing each other. And because one is curious of how awesome would be for Sun to fight Adam because of Blake, that leads to think how these two would interact which leads to ship Sun and Adam.

Neptune is Sun's partner. Of course he would be shipped with him. Then we saw the interactions with Weiss and a new ship appeared. Then because Neptune beat Yang in the game, we can assumed that they interacted and therefore, we are going to ship them. NeptunexYang fanfics and fanarts were born after that.

Meanwhile the girls are shipped because why the f*ck not? PyrrhaxNora makes no sense at all but so does RubyxCrescent Rose so why the f*ck not? And Monty confirming that homosexual characters could be a thing in RWBY just made things go wild.

So to summarize it: The RWBY fandom needs only a single interaction to ship. They are also very observant and a little crazy when it comes to making theories which leads to relate every character with everyone. Because of this, speculation becomes shipping and a new ship is born.
