Am I expecting too much out of my new boyfriend?

I had been dating this guy for a few years, looking back he was an amazing boyfriend but i can't remember if he was always like that or it came because he got use to what i like and how to make me happy. We broke up because he cheated on me.

A year later i am dating someone new, he is awesome, great for the first few months...(seems a little short don't you think) and now i am already detecting flaws. could these flaws just be because i am expecting too much from him in comparison to my past relationship?I feel like if this relationship is gonna go somewhere it shouldn't be like this already.

For example: every single time he pays for something he will bring it up over and over and rub it in my face. And its not like im cheap either I probably have paid for 50% of everything and have bought him very thoughtful/nice gifts numerous times as surprises.

He also never takes me on date dates, more just like casual outings where I'm not sure if he's treating me or if we are just hanging out. i feel like hes too comfortable already and feels like he doesn't need to impress me. Sex is very good though thank god. Although i wish he wouldn't make jokes about it in front of his friends who i have only recently met.

I just feel like the way I treat him is the exact same as how i want to be treated and I am not getting that at all. the relationship sorta stresses me out with wondering if there is a point to it or if he will continue to annoy me.

Also one day we went to dinner with my friends and afterwords he would comment on which ones were cute and which weren't (not in a interested way just a commentary).... like keep your opinions to yourself buddy

let me know your opinions thank you!

I think you should talk to him about theese flaws. Your not expecting to much and theese are flaws that could end the relationship somewhere down the road.
