Howard and Steve:

Howard Stark tells Peggy: "I knew how much Steve meant to you! Because I know how much he means to me." Basically equating himself with Steve's canon love interest. Peggy herself has referred to Steve as the love of her life.
It's revealed that despite the fact that Howard has developed weapons of mass destruction in the past, he considers his greatest shame to be not finding Steve alive. When Ivchenko hypnotizes Howard into hallucinating his greatest wish, it is to find Steve alive. Howard is absolutely thrilled at the idea of finding him and bringing him home, desperately trying to convince Peggy that it is real. He is only able to snap out of his hypnosis when Peggy manages to make him fully accept that Steve won't ever come home.
Peggy: I know you loved him. I loved him, too. But this won't bring him back. [...] Steve is gone. We have to move on.

Angie fills a lot of the roles typical for the love interest in many superhero movies. Peggy initially pushes her away out of fear for her safety, their friendship is hurt by Peggy having to live a double life, and Angie immediately trusts Peggy when the latter is being hunted by the SSR agents, something that could have had huge repercussions on her.
Angie is very insistent about wanting Peggy to move in with her in the same apartment building after Peggy needs a place to stay.
After Ray's death Peggy goes to Angie for comfort. It helps that "Someone to Watch Over Me" is playing in the background. Here are the lyrics
Angie's answer to Peggy saying she wouldn't belong in Broadway because she can't sing is "It doesn't matter when you got legs like yours".
As of the season 1 finale, they are living together in one of Stark's houses. Bonus for Peggy turning down a date with Sousa to move in with her.
In Peggy's season 2 musical dream sequence, she dances with her male love interests, Wilkes and Sousa, but Angie is also there, urging her to make a decision about her love life.
Hayley Atwell certainly isn't discouraging it.
Lyndsy Fonseca doesn't mind, either.

Dottie actually kisses Peggy, albeit to knock her out with her Drugged Lipstick.
In the season 2 premier, Dottie has gone so far to dye her hair brown and copy Peggy's red hat and blue jacket look. She's also positively thrilled at the idea of being interrogated (and possibly tortured) by Peggy, reacting to seeing her with girlish glee. The way she talks to Peggy can only be described as flirty, which may be because she knows it's the only way to get under her skin.
Dottie is featured in Peggy's musical dream about her love triangle in season 2, teasing her with "I will always be in your head."
