If the main protagonist were to be in a romantic relationship, it would kind of change the overall tone of the show. Especially with it being primarily a goofy, childish humour/action show. Just my two cents on the subject.

That's Joshua Silverman's description of RWBY. Like every good protagonist of any manga or anime, Team RWBY is gonna meet a big cast of characters. First they had interactions with Team JNPR and Jaune even stole the protagonism for a few episodes, then we met Penny and Sun. And those are just the characters introduced in Volume 1. I'm sure that when The Vytal Festival begins, more characters will come into the picture, if any of the members of Team RWBY were to fall in love with a character right now, like you said: It would kind of change the overall tone of the show. Not to mention that it will sink all the ships.

Jaune and Pyrrha is the first pairing that seems canon to me. The rest of the pairings like Ruby and Weiss are too forced, the only reason for shipping them: they are partners...

Sorry guys, but let's be honest: Who ships RubyxBlake? or YangxWeiss? Probably just 20% of the fandom but the other 80% is aiming for RubyxWeiss or BlakexYang just because they are partners, and despite Blake had more interaction with Weiss than with her partner Yang, people are still shipping the Bumblebee.
