Hey!

Little problem compared to all the things I have come across here.. 

I am a student(21) with just enough money for rent/food (thanks to parents)and my boyfriend (30) has a job which pays very well. I recently found a job and made about $300 but had to quit because school is starting next week. Now, my SO loves to go out to dinner or just for drinks but recently, until I was paid today, I had no choice but to let him pay for it. Personally, I'm not a big fan of going out to dinner too often. I believe it is easier and much more romantic/fun to cook dinner together in our own homes. 

He says he is happy to pay and because I'm a student he expects to pay for things until I have my own job. This still makes me uncomfortable sometimes but he brushes it off and jokes that I'll do the same for him later. 

I got paid today and sent him a text to let him know (because I had to wait 2 weeks for my boss to finally give me a check...) and he responded "great! how much?" then "ok! so I'll chose the restaurant tonight?!" 
We already talked about dinner and I already went to the store this morning to buy all the ingredients for it.. I responded telling him that maybe tomorrow would be better because we are leaving the city for the weekend tomorrow and it makes sense to eat what we have.. He didn't seem to understand my logic.

Am I being selfish for thinking this way? I'm not really sure what to say to him without sounding greedy. We went out to eat twice this week and I was really looking forward to a night at home tonight. He also doesn't know I'm trying to save my money to bring him on a surprise trip for his birthday in two months which makes things difficult.

My SO pays for my dinner, I feel like I should let him pay for everything until I get my own job. Am I being selfish?

My boyfriend, who is very financially stable, wants to pay for dinner but I don't know how to approach this.
