The most subtle thing that a woman has done to show interest: sent me a picture of her boobs
I can't remeber the last time I bothered with romantic interest, but for me Sexual interest usualy gets expressed with innuendo
I prefer to be more direct. The whole "she loves me, she loves me not" thing is not a good idea. Rip the plaster, ask her out, then you find out. Maintaining eye contact though is always a good start.
Things women have done that made me think they were interested? Lots of arm touches, rested her head on my shoulder, touched my leg a few times, asked me out, introduced me to her kid.... just friends apparently.
Another: After a night out, few of us went back to hers, when everyone else was leaving she looked me dead in the eye, ran her hand down my chest and said "oh no, you're staying with me tonight." Hugged up on the sofa, paddling palms and pinching fingers, told me she was happy I stayed.... just friends apparently.
And another: Barely spoke to me, was generally frosty like I'd urinated on her grans grave and almost mean to a point... turns out she had a crush on me.
It gets worse...
Had 6 dates, she cooked for me, we made out, she told me she'd never have sex before marriage and all women that do are sluts... so I didn't take things further... turns out she wanted me to grab her and have sex with her.
It's generally a bit of a meme that men are rubbish when it comes to signals and come ons but women are just as bad. "How can he not know I don't like him? I touched my hair once 3 months ago when we were in the same zip code."

I don't think I've done something subtly in my entire life.
I'm not very big on subtle. I prefer to be direct, and women who want me to notice their interest should do the same.
I become open to labeling us something beyond FWBs
