The only pairings that I can really see working as of Volume 1 are Jaune x Pyrrha, Nora x Ren, and Blake x Sun. The rest is still fairly up in the air till more of the series comes out, at least for me. Nora x Ren were already hinted at nicely with how Nora says that they're together, just not "together-together", which sounds more like she's trying to convince herself as to why they're keeping each other's distance, rather than her not feeling anything for him. She probably hasn't met many people who can handle her as well as Ren, and doesn't want to lose such a close friend if things don't work out. Ren, for his part, feels kinda like he's trying to think of a way to confess to Nora WITHOUT her flipping out and breaking half of Beacon in her excitement. Blake x Sun just seem to sort of gel for me, and Jaune X Pyrrha? Well, Jaune probably brings out some motherly instincts in Pyrrha, due to the way he is. On top of that, Jaune seems much more likely to value Pyrrha as a person instead of for her status, which would be hard to come by for any celebrity. She probably also got to take a good look at his soul, etc, in the process of unlocking his Aura, and probably liked what she saw of his inner character and potential. At the very least, she didn't seem to put out a reaction of seeing something she found objectionable while doing the ritual.
