I figured his gift-giving was just trying to make up for what he believed he was lacking.

So - I get suspicious when I get too much of that kinda thing.
Ha ha I went out with a guy briefly when I was a teenager who did that from the first date and I ran. The young man I was talking about was strong in his masculinity and himself. He was honest, spoke his mind and listened. We didn't always agree and had interesting debates which made the things he did more endearing.
It has to be genuine. Not done to impress.
