 If I was you I seriously wouldn't do or say a thing. You're an intern, you're there to help your career, not ruin it by getting involved with a work colleague. If you want to let him know I would do it after your internship ends.
Another thing, maybe he's just flirting to pass the time but has no intentions of doing anything about it. How do you know he doesn't have a girlfriend or wife? And smiling and being friendly, and the odd touch, doesn't have to mean he's interested in you. I bet you're attractive and a woman in a male dominated industry is a distraction for him and a way to pass his time.
And as for him being shy, let me tell you one thing...no matter how shy he is, if he really wanted to do something he would.
I say think very carefully before you do anything, it could have a detrimental effect on your future career goals.
