That being said, the problem I do see is that he seems not to be upfront with you about how he feels. The whole making excuses when it comes time to pay would ring a bell for me. I wouldn't like that and that, to me, would be a much bigger issue than the money itself.
Yeah I agree with StellaBlue. If he's not willing to be upfront about it, then there's a problem there. You might as well take power and exersize it and be upfront and have a discussion about your expectations.

That includes your expectations of Valentines Day. You know, not all women believe the same thing as you about Valentines Day. Some women want nothing to do with Valentines Day as well, feeling it is a manufactured holiday designed to sell stuff. I dated one woman like that, and I did absolutely nothing different on Valentines Day with her because I knew her expectations (which I shared in - I don't like Valentines Day as it's too artificial for my taste anyway).

So, that's something to discuss with him - with any guy you're dating in truth - what your expectations are and find out what his are to see if you guys can have (or come to) mutual expectations and all that good stuff.
