I have been talking to a guy for a couple of weeks now. Over the phone and while we text he is amazing. Fun to talk to and great personality but when we talk in person he is a completely different person? He's shy and just awkward? It's like he dosnt want to talk to me. This is really confusing me. The change is so drastic that I don't even want to talk to him in person. It's like talking to a wall!
And, no offense at all meant here but there must be a reason why he'd prefer to talk to you over the phone/texting first off instead of meeting up with you-because that way he can hide in a room or something and not have to go out into the world (which can be stressful for some people)
Talk to him about this and ask why, in the least rude way. It's not fair to close off contact completeley with him as he may not be able to help his shyness in public.

A long time ago I was talking to this guy off of a dating website and we would talk on AIM. He would always know what to say and he jsut had a way with words online. The first phone call I figured he was just nervous but it turns out he was really shy and a bit awkward. Unfortunately he turned out to be someone that he wasn't. I don't know what your intentions are with this guy but if you can't hold a conversation that's not a great start to a relationship. Some people can act a certain way online because its infront of a computer and then act completely different face to face or on the phone. You have decide whether or not you want to continue talking to this guy and see if he could be a potential boyfriend. Maybe he's just shy for now until you get to know him a bit better.
