My (26/F) boyfriend (31/M) never pays for anything (meals, gifts, etc.) despite him making more than me.

I've been dating my bf for about 4 months. Whenever we go out to eat, my bf never offers to pay for me. We always either pay separately or I'll offer to pay for him and he'll happily accept. if we ever go on a double date at a restaurant or out with a group of friends drinking, my friends' bfs are always the ones paying for both of them. while my bf is just like "split the check, right?"

I know he's not poor or experiencing any kind of financial problems; he makes more than me. It's not like I want him to pay for me all the time just every one in a while. But he'll never offer. also he won't pay for things when we're out and about.

For example I really wanted this pair of super cheap goofy socks in a store and was like 'oh no this place has a $5 minimum on card purchases (the socks were under that!). I dont have cash I guess i'll have to find something to add to my purchase in order to buy it.' And he was like 'yep.' and then he went and bought something for his friend at the same store. He could've easily just paid for my socks under that purchase but no. This is just an example of what i mean. he'll buy gifts for other people, but never buys gifts for me. ever. even for holidays and birthdays. i dont want to sound shallow but sometimes i'd like to be treated.

should i talk to him about this? i'm not sure how to broach the subject. it might become awkward.

TL;DR My boyfriend who makes more money than me insists on going halfsies for meals and will never buy me anything ever.
