After he came back, we went on dates. On our first date I paid. No big deal he offered the next time and he brought me a gift anyway. The problem started on the following dates. I picked him up from work, drove him to his place to change and then drove to the restaurant, then paid for the meal and at the same night he invited me out with his friends I went and I ended up giving him a ride home. It didn't end there. He paid once. Then it was me again. Recently, I was at work and waiting for the bus. We talked about having dinner together and told him I will be a while because I was waiting for the bus. I was hoping that he could pick me up like I did and we can go together instead he said he can wait and asked if I was going to get it and bring it over to his place? That was the last drop for me and I am not seeing him anymore. My question is do I return his gift? I feel like since he is so cheap he might want it back.

 Agreed.. a gift is not to be returned unless it was very expensive (an engagement ring sort of thing)
other than that... toss it.
and him.

 Are you serious ? It can't be . Are you looking for some excuse to contact him again and patch up,perhaps ?
There's no obligation, and it's not customary , returning gifts unless they are engagement gifts . Or maybe, if it was something supervaluable, like a car, and you don't want to be taken for a golddigger , but a trinket from a trip ?
If you are planning to give him back his gift because he's cheap- then no, the lesson he needs to learn is how to NOT be so cheap !

 Are you seriously worried about this guy? He was not considering your feelings when you were driving him places and paying his bills! Keep the gift... He needs to not be so cheap! xx
