People who ship characters don't always believe that those characters will ever end up together, some don't even want them to do so in canon. Shipping is fun stuff that takes place outside of canon. It's fun to play with different characters and imagine how they'd act if they were put together. Look at crossover ships - those will obviously never happen but people do it anyway, because it's fun. It's about the creativity and imagination rather than just "I believe these characters should/will end up together in canon." Some ships are like that, but quite a lot of them actually aren't. ^
