I will exclude moments that can be seen as only friendship moments, no romance intonations at all.
[spoiler]
1.) When he dragged her along in Hargeon and told her to join Fairy Tail
2.) When she held him back during the Lullaby arc
3.) In Galuna Island when he saved her from the poison
4.) When he went for her rescue in Phantom Lord arc
5.) When he caught her when she was falling out of the tower and she yelled out his name, being sure that he would be there to catch her.
(OMAKES)

1.) Happy in Boots: She's a princess and she falls in love with him without even knowing him, but he has become barbaric and then she falls out of love XD
link
2.) Watch out for that guy: Mira tells Lucy that Natsu may like her, but it turns out he just wanted Virgo to help him out dig out some funny pics.
link
3.) Cherry blossom: Lucy has been wanting to watch the cherry blossoms, but on that same day she becomes ill and Natsu uproots a whole cherry blossom, puts it on a boat and sets it off to float in front of her appartment (this is SUPER sweet and romantic!)
link
4.) Welcome to Natsu's house: (the cover page is already so cute ) Lucy wants to take revenge on Happy and Natsu for always barging into her apartment, she then enters their place and finds out it's a whole mess. She starts looking around and finds a wall filled with all the missions Natsu has done and then she sees a little note on her first mission with him saying: my very first mission with LUCY!!! and then she blushes and is all like ''awww, how sweet'' and then she decides to clean up his house. But then they don't show up and she feels all lonely but when she arrives home she finds out they're in her apartment muttering her name ^^
link
5.) Day of the Fateful Encounter: Cana predicts that Lucy will meet (in this case ''met'') her destined lover (or her fateful encounter) on that same day. In the library she meets this one nerdy guy that is also a writer like her and they go on a date and in the end he ends up asking her on a date that same day at 9 PM. Then Lucy is all daydreamy in the guild when Natsu and Happy approach her asking her to come on a job with them that same day. but she refuses telling them she already has an appointment, they end up looking depressed and leave her alone. Mira then informs Lucy that Natsu and Happy had been wanting to give her a surprise since it was her birthday that day, but then Lucy says that her birthday wasnt on that day. When the clock strikes 9 PM we see Natsu and Happy sitting in the train all sulky when suddenly Lucy appears before them, and then Natsu tells her that it was that day exactly a year ago when she joined Fairy Tail, and then Lucy's like all happy with tears in her eyes (awwww) in the end we see the guy with glasses having the date with Cana XD

OVA 4!!! Watch it Its partially based on chapter 261 where the boys go to peek on the girls in the hot springs, Mashima added in one of the volume extras:
Natsu ----> Lucy
Gray -----> Juvia
Jet------> Levy
Droy ----- all girls (and this include Charle and Wendy XD)
OVA 2 (High school) has a small Nalu sceen in it, when Gray enters the classroom and Lucy and Natsu are fighting and then he teases them saying: ''its already getting so hot between you two.'' (or something like that) and they end up saying ''its not like that!''
MOVIE!! the movie hug, the movie credits, the many many moments.
Key of the Starry Sky arc also has some beutiful moments (these filler episodes were confirmed to have been written by Mashima)
1.) Episode 125: Dance
2.) Episode 127: Lucy becomes invisible and Natsu finds her, then when Lucy is forgotten Natsu is the one to remember her because he's already in his heart.
3.) Another episode where he daydreams about her being dressed in just flowers XDDD
4.) Episode 150: Last filler/canon episode where she's falling from the sky and he catches her. 1.a good new one is the episode 173 we have a hugh nalu filler scene.
maybe for lucy was at first sight, or you forget who what make lucy get free fron the love ring spell was the sight of natsu, when she see him, she get automaticly free.
For me the first good love hint was in lulaby arc when lucy hold natsu when him was trying to break the air barrier then get hurt, then she grab him, and when natsu noticed her holding him he just stare at her then she blush
mine second choice is when she is falling, in the phantom lord arc, when she is trying to scape from the gm(forget the name i'm really bad with names lol)then she start to think:
- i hear his voice, i know who he is here, i'm hearing him - them when she is falling she:
- natsu...(yelling)
then he appear runing and grab her.
between that we have some others litle but for me that 2 was the best start.
NaLu is a given when I read the first chapter, just because Mashima previous work also has the main couple canon at the end. LOL.
But the most obvious moment for NaLu it is when Lucy choose to jump of the tower and yelling Natsu name at the same time, believing he will come to save her.
Apart from the above list of NaLu moment, i would like to add some moments that i think NaLu moments. The whole stuff with Happy make fun of NaLu moments, either make fun of Natsu or Lucy. Something like this:
link and the next page
link IIRC that scene never animated.
Nirvana arc
link she protected him when they fall in the waterfall.
link Virgo gave them a matching couples outfit with a heart on the chest clotheing lol
link and the next page she makes fun of them as well while Lucy blushing before that.
link Gray asking about the matching clothes.
Eh that was i remember, the rest is too many, the list will be very long lol.
Well actually the link from managareader stated pretty well it was chapter 257 page 7 (In mangafox's case: page 8)
ova is a "original video animation" some sort of one shot extra anime story( for exemple the 4 ova is a extend animation version of chapter link or anime episode 153
omake are one shot short manga chapters like link
for all anime episodes(and others animes) a good site is nwanime.com

Why NaLu will happen:
Natsu & Lucy represent Haru and Elie who are a couple from Hiro Mashima's previous manga, Rave. With that given and the OVA when Elie said to Lucy that Haru & Natsu are their hero's then that is Hiro saying that it will happen.
Another reason is that if you check Hiro's pics on twitter, you can see Natsu & Lucy coming up a couple of times.
The last reason is that on a Fairy Tail side story (only manga) there was a time when Juvia is hallucinating and sees Natsu & Lucy doing romantic stuff.
