I'll be fine with whatever way Mashima decides to resolve this matter. NaLu, NaLi or everyone just being good friends will be fine with me... just as long as it doesn't end with an unresolved love-triangle.

But I do think that NaLu is a lot more likely than NaLi, and I mean a really LOT.

I could list all those scenes that hint at something going on between them, but ultimately it's what isn't there that matters more than what is there. And the thing that is NOT there is interaction between Natsu and Lisanna.

Sure he was overjoyed about her return from the dead, but so was every other member of the guild, so that means nothing as far as romance is concerned. But after this initial elation, he almost immediately went back to spending all his time with Lucy and barely even talks with Lisanna. When they see each other in the guild he doesn't go over to talk or joke with her, but neither is he trying to avoid her due to shyness or anything. He just treats her the same way as he treats Wakaba, Jet or any other non-Lucy member of Fairy Tail (except he doesn't try to fight her, but then he doesn't do that with any woman other than Erza despite saying that gender didn't matter to him in the fighting festival arc).

And Lisanna on her part also doesn't seem to be trying to spend more time with Natsu. Maybe she just doesn't want to be over-assertive, but then that would contradict the side of her personality that the teasing about marrying and being the parents of Happy showed.

At one point she was also encouraging Lucy to stick with Natsu and I doubt it was meant only as a battle-tactic against Hades.

As for the points you made: Sorry to say so, but that looks like grasping at straws to me.
 * For love it doesn't matter how long they've known each other as children.
 * Almost every boy of Natsu's (estimated) age at that point would have reacted embarrassed.
 * For the romance what does it matter, which girl knows Happy better?
 * The entire guild griefed and the entire guild was overjoyed about her return, so that shows nothing about existance or absence of romantic feelings.
 * Ep 164: When Lisanna approaches him in the wedding dress Natsu is completely indifferent. He only starts to show emotion when he's surprised about being in a suit all of a sudden. If anything this serves to discourage NaLi theories rather than support them if you ask me.
 * Lisanna has no scenes in which she has to put up with Natsu's stupidity, so how can you judge? Besides trying to cure Natsu of his stupidity is ultimately better for him than just standing by and smiling, so again your giving a good argument pro NaLu here in my opinion.

Just one last thing and sorry in advance for going inpolite here, but I think it's warranted. The sentence about ErzaXNatsu being more likely than NaLu or NaLi if not for Jellal is absolute bullshit.
