I told my crush I like him and now it's awkward. What is this behaviour?

There's this guy I've liked since October

I see him nearly everyday right now in a place where people meet up and especially on the weekend. I know that he's always drinking a lot of alcohol

To keep it as short as I can, there were *many* occasions where I caught him clearly staring at me. He used to hug me a lot randomly and touch my arms etc. He also told me random stuff like how I'm always on his explore on Instagram. One night he pulled me to the side and asked me if I care for him. He held me a long time and cried on me and he was laying on my lap for like 30 seconds

Last weekend when we were both very drunk my friend offered to tell him from me I like him (I have severe social anxiety) she told me he said I'm way too pretty for him and how that could possibly be. They talked a very long time. She made me talk to him after that and I told him I have a crush on him. He seemed very shy and shocked (not his usual self) and asked me why I have a crush on him. He said he wants to talk to me when we're both sober. After that the whole night he seemed very happy. He also called me his angel and stood around me the whole time and took me to a different place in the city to hang out with his friends

The next day he was very sweet but we didn't talk like he offered the night before. I don't know if it's because we're both shy now. He messaged me that night saying we wanted to talk and that he had a bad day so I told him to just come to me when he's ready. Now the past days he didn't do anything and we still didn't talk. He doesn't greet me and doesn't even say bye anymore. I asked him why he's ignoring me and so hot and cold on Whatsapp and he basically said nothing. All my friends say he's weird but? They were also shocked I like him do you think that may be the case for him too? He's still joking with me though and he's still always standing close to me. Like he's always standing right next to me or behind me but he's acting so weird ever since I told him I like him
