I know they have feelings for each other, but it's pretty clear by the way Pyrrha jumped when Jaune laid his land on top of hers that they're not anything past making puppy dog eyes at each other at this point. I highly doubt she's referring to him as being the thing preventing her from following her destiny.

"Oh, look, a crush. I'll throw away everything I ever wanted so I can be some guy's second choice." Well, if you look at it in my way, she's been lonely and placed on a pedestal her whole life because of her fame and her "invincible" status. I doubt she really got close to anyone apart from her parents - and even then we've only heard her talk fondly of her mother, and nothing about her father yet. She may have never experienced a crush or love or romance in general - so this being her first, it'd probably hit her harder. Besides, I really do think it's deeper than just a crush. Not just because I ship them, but the fact that she's so selfless about it (when telling Jaune how to approach Weiss) and also because of how she reacted to him telling her that nothing should stand in her way. If I was told I needed to die for humanity and I had a crush, I'd probably be pretty sad and regretful, but I wouldn't really cry. And for Pyrrha - the calm, composed, collected Pyrrha - to cry, that's not a very good sign.
