Why does my boyfriend always insist on buying me things?

Anonymous
My boyfriend and I go on dates and go to out to eat, and on dates I'll let him pay for my movie ticket or lunch. I understand that he wants to take on the responsibility of being "the guy," but he goes onto wanting to buy me things like a new video game or some cute figures, things that I plan on buying myself.
He's my third boyfriend (and I'm his first girlfriend), and he's the only one who insists on buying me unnecessary things. I like that he shows that he cares, but I also feel like I look like I'm using him for things or that he thinks the only reason I'm with him is for him to buy me stuff.
