Scenario: My question is derived from today when I was talking to two of my friends out in the hall of my business college (we normally stand about the same place everyday) and my girlfriend entered the lobby while talking to another guy who she has said is her "friend." My girlfriend stops conversation with the guy to say "hi" and she walks over to talk to me. The guy kept his head straight forward and not looking over towards me. He seems to be making plenty of conversation with my girlfriend, but it all stops when I am in the area and he seems to be avoiding contact with me.
Normally when I am speaking to someone and they walk away I will follow them with my eyes as I am saying cya later or whatever. I just find this odd since this isnt the first time this has happened with this guy and wanted to see what your opinions were on the situation. Thanks in advance.

If I am not introduced or welcomed into the conversation in some way (verbally, physically, via body language, etc) I tend not to make eye contact. It doesn't sound like this guy thought he was part of the conversation or that he thought he was welcome to participate.
