PP here. I agree. I don’t buy such things either nor do I want to receive them.

I have the money to pay for my own dinner and it was nice for him to pay for the wine. We're not entitled to receive anything from other people, and you would do well to remember that OP.
We have college friends who are very wealthy and never let us pick up the check or split or buy a bottle of wine. It makes me feel bad because we can afford it. We all started in the same place and now they have put themselves above us.

They also get uncomfortable when we go to midrange chain restaurants or order alcohol, but insist on paying because they are the grownups. They have to be forced to buy new clothes. On the other hand, we have a generous college fund (thank you!). People are odd.
