Guys, do you usually act and feel awkward towards a female friend that you chat almost everyday?

I have this male friend of mine for years whom I think seemed to be pretty close to me. Although we don't really hangout (like never) he chats me almost everyday, play online games with me sometimes, sends me random memes / things that he knows I like, or videos of his pets. Like, he's very random. He would chat me throughout the day if he sees something I like on social media and so on. One time, he visited me to ask me for a favor. I was kinda excited since it's been a while since I've met a friend of mine. I didn't know why but he was so awkward; WE were so awkward. I was trying to make a conversation and his head was mostly bowing our entire conversation then I also felt awkward. After that meeting, it's as if it never happened. He's just the usual. I think it's impossible that he likes me since as far as I know, he used to like a friend of mine (well, he didn't tell me but it was obvious). I'm still a little bothered by what happened since it never got that awkward with my other male friends.

P. S. He's a really noisy and funny guy.
