Couples, ey? Not many shounen action-adventure manga really dwell on romance and stuff, but this one might be diferent. It`s already clear that there will be something between Izuku and Uraraka. Maybe not now, but certainly in the future.
As for other potential couples, the only other potential one I see so far is Kaminari and Jirou.

Deku x Tsuyu

That's the main one for me. I know the manga seems to be pushing more of a Uraraka angle but for me that's pointless. Tsuyu is simply the best.

No other ones really jump out at me at the moment but in time I've no doubt they will.

This manga does not really show romance so far but I like Todoroki and Momo.
Also we know uraraka likes deku. If it happens, I will support them. Eventhough I like uraraka and iida XD
Deku and bakugou can be a great partner in the future. I also like bakugou and todoraki :D

Katsuki x Mina because rare pairings is my weakness.

Todoroki x Momo is my favorite so far. You can't really say that it's romance but there are enough hints and their relationship is well handled. Unlike the Deku x Uraraka pairing where things are getting repetitive on Uraraka side.

Katsuki x Mina because rare pairings is my weakness.
I doubt there will be romance between these two, but if they introduce a girl in his group of friends(Kirishima, Sero and Kaminari) it'll probably be her. Bakugou interacts with the girls of his class so rarely that it's hard to forget any kind of interactions.

I also doubt that they will become an official pair, but as fan shipping why not.

Still really pulling for a Tsuyu resurgence.

Can't deny that things are leaning heavily toward Uraraka but that's so flat and boring to me. Her and Deku are like Vanilla + Vanilla. I like both of them but the end result is just more Vanilla so have you really gained anything by combining them? Tsuyu X Deku is like 100 times more fun because they're so different.

I tend to think that's the reason Uraraka lost to Tsuyu in the last popularity poll despite Tsuyu having a faction the screen time. That angle doesn't work for her. Deku's got the "ordinary boy becomes extraordinary hero" thing covered. So working toward pairing him up with a relatively normal character just doesn't cut it. You need somebody weird. And Tsuyu is a human frog that somehow manages to be adorable. IMO that is the perfect level of weird for a Deku love interest.

Maybe there will be no Deku x Someone after/if Deku finds out what happened to Nana, how villains killed her husband and probably killed her son (Shigaraki's father).

Why would that be?

A basic story element of hero comics/movies is "the hero leaves his loved ones back, to protect them". If Deku ends up with someone this someone would become the target of his enemies, so it would be better if he doesn't end up with anyone like All Might.
There would be countless times of "Ochako/Tsuyu/Someone else is in some danger again, because some villain wants to get back at Deku".
That Deku is the holder of One For All would fuel this even more. Someone kidnapps his girlfriend and demands that he gives up One For All to protect his girlfriend.

Ah, I see what your saying. That's a fair point in principle but really unlikely to see in practice.

Mainly because there is a reason girlfriends always get kidnapped in superhero fiction because that's a solid plot idea that almost never fails to generate some drama. So from the writer of Boku No Hero's perspective getting Deku love interests is all upside with little in the way downside. So loved ones being under constant threat becomes an actual incentive for more paring stuff to happen.

While Nana's intentions came from a good place, I believe, ultimately, it will be viewed as the wrong decision later down the line. Mainly because, well, you can't really protect your child from heroes and villains when the world is full of them. Eventually, they are going to run into one or the other. Deku should realize that as well if that thought passes through his mind. Nevermind the fact that he should put his trust into his significant other, who will more likely than not be a hero, and trust in their abilities to take care of themselves.

Still Todoroki x Momo. Still for the same reasons as my post above.

Deku x Uraraka is uninteresting to me as well but I am certain that it's set in stone. I like Tsuyu a lot but I am not really shipping her with anyone. Deku's interactions with his female classmates are not particularly interesting to me(maybe because he doesn't interact with them a lot), I feel like they lack something. I prefer Uraraka's interactions with Iida TBH, feels more natural.

Hardly it will work in bnha case, the heroes are known public figures, with their true identity expose to everyone. Their costumes and hero names are simply a remnant of tradition, wich doesn't serve it's original purpose of protecting heroes and their loved one anonymity. So the whole class A, is a risk zone.
Currently the most obvious choice for villains will be Izuku's mother, she's the most vulnerable one as well.

That's one thing I find odd. With names advertised everywhere I wonder why no villains we know are trying to kidnap relatives or something. Perhaps there is a system preventing that but I can't think of anything TBH, when Bakugou got rescued Mitsuki said he was forbidden to get out, bu what about her own safety? It should be easy for someone like Toga to kidnap Inko for example.

It would be funny if their were rules like in Venture Bros. Where they have to schedule villainous acts and have strict guidelines on when, where, and how they can hassle their arch-nemesis.:amuse

More probably that's just a suspension of disbelief thing.

I have only one rational explanation to this, All Might made the world so much of a safe place, that hero anonymity simply was no longer needed. Now it's all gonna change I guess.

I'm still behind but Deku x Ochako seems cool since Deku always gets flustered when she stares at him. But not gonna lie Deku x Tsuyu is could be greatness in the making... they're interactions when they fought the villains in the USJ was nice to look at but Mineta ruins the mood if there was any mood

Why would allmight be any different? Just look at the last chapter, the point made by GT was basically that OFA should be treated like any other quirk. And even allmight seems surprisingly surrounded by people (at least if we consider your theory). He has a number of actual friends among heroes, some police officer is something like his best friend and even a former teacher that came out of retirement to help them out. We have no reason or context to think allmight is lonely. For all we know he even has a family (the manga has not made a point either way on that subject). And even if allmight is lonely, it is by no means something which should continue with midoriya.
The way AFO choose to mess with AM and the way, his life is showcased, proves otherwise, I´d find it really weird if it turned out he actually has a wife, she would be a priority target by AFO, to weaken AM.

Yeah, indeed even if AM is lonely, nothing of that is guaranteed to continue with Midoriya, in fact we dont even know if by the end of the manga he will even remain with OFA, so he has a shot at not ending alone.

now for a secondary ship: Ashido x Kaminari
