Is there such thing as nonverbal flirting?

Is that possible or is flirting only done with words?

Im just wondering about a certain situation im in with someone at work. We're both shy and awkward but we do talk to eachother. When we first met, he would barely acknowledge me and was rude but since im really nice, i kept my cool and was still nice to him. Throughout all that time though, i noticed that he would always watch me but id ignore it since he would piss me off. He wouldn't say hi but i noticed that when i came in to work, he would smile to himself.

One day i asked him for help and he actually was happy to help. Ever since that day, he was nicer. So for the past few months, i noticed he would come by more often but he would glare at me. Id get scared so i would look down.

Lately, things have gotten kind of fun. He comes by often where i am just to check if im ok or make random comments to make me laugh. He watches me from afar and im getting more used to not looking down when he does that. We make eye contact for a few seconds. When we walked by eachother, he would look at me then look straight ahead and smile and so did i. Now, we actually in eachother's eyes and smile like if we're holding in the smile. Its so adorable. He seems excited to see me and his eyes get sparkly when he looks at me. I thought i was imagining things but I've seen it more than once.

Whenever im talking to people, he wants to join in the conversation. I feel like hed get mad if i interrupt him when he's working because i know i get pissed when people do that to me, but he actually always seems happy to help out.

So im not sure if this is considered flirting? He doesn't tease me that much. I dont think he knows how. I've seen him. He just sucks at it. So im not sure if there's something going on here. I dont know how to flirt or anything like that. And i dont know if he does either, he's never been in a relationship either.
