He never reciprocated my gift?

So this guy and I met in college and we never officially went out but spent time with each other and showed affection. We kissed too. He asked me out for a date finally but because of the lockdown it took us a year to actually go out because of the restrictions. During the lockdown, I went home to my parents while he stayed back in college because his parents live in a foreign country and the travel restrictions didn't allow him to go. He is someone who can barely live alone. He likes being around people so he made a few friends who were also stuck in campus because of travel restrictions.. Two female friends gave him gifts as they returned to their country and to never come back. He just picked up an old novel and a random rubics cube he found to give back as a gift as he had not planned to give anything. I felt a bit jealous as he has never given me anything of that sort. And I really like gifts, surprises and birthdays, PDA etc while he is on the other side of the spectrum. I did tell him that it pissed me off. After the pandemic when I met him at his place, I gave him a small gift which to be fair, I thought would trigger him into reciprocating the same gesture but it didn't. We went on a date later after which he had his Visa interview so he can move to be with his parents and pursue a course there. He showed up without a gift again and I felt really frustrated. I don't know but I expected a very romantic date. While he was talking to me but not meeting my expectations romantically. I understand that he had an interview but him showing up empty handed has deeply hurt my feelings and I am finding it hard to move past that. What do you think about the situation?
