There was this guy that I met at a party. At first he was very outgoing and talkative to everyone, including me. He made make good eye contact whenever we spoke to each other. He would sometimes stare without me looking (it was obvious from my peripheral vision though). After him looking without me noticing, however, at one point during the party we wanted to play a game. We all had to sit physically close to each other. I was sitting near him and he just seemed quiet and off, not like before at all. I would sometimes crack jokes and the whole group would laugh except for him.. but when none of them laughed, he would be the only one who would laugh... loudly. I asked him a question about the game and he completely ignored me.. and when I asked him another question he mumbled and avoided eye contact (he looked down and obviously avoided my eyes despite the fact that he did not do that an hour ago). It was not like I was "all over him" and speaking to him only; it was a small party and so we all spoke to each other. He even mirrored me at one point too. I am just confused as to why he went from an outgoing guy to a quiet, awkward one?

Well, this is one immature-ass-twenty-something-year-old. That' for damn sure. There is no excuse for him having acted that way, regardless. A 12-year-old boy would be to emberassed to act that immaturely. Seriously.
But I can tell you this much: He obviously got some stupid-shit into his head that instantly caused this change. And it's not a change from outgoing to shy/awkward. It's a change from outgoing to obnoxious and rude. Let's be clear about that.
This guy somehow got it into his head, that you didn't really like him as much as he thought. Maybe he saw you talking to that other guy, and he saw it as flirting, then suddenly the flirting you were doing with HIM means nothing (because in his eyes you're doing the same with the other guy). Therefore, like a grown-man-baby... he feels foolish and hurt (for letting himself believe that you liked him) and decides to act like an obnoxious jack-ass.
This guy sucks. You don't even want to deal with a guy who is going to act this way. He's emotionally immature in the extreme. If he can't handle this situation any better than he did, a relationship with that guy is going to be a goddamn disaster. My advice: Forget about this guy. Find a better one. 🙂
