I've suggested that we do free or inexpensive activities like walking in the park, the beach, etc. However he says he doesn't mind spending money and has been spending a lot (into hundreds of dollars) on our outings. I think he's pretty financially stable but my question is since I just started seeing him is he going to expect the relationship to move forward because he's spending money? I like him (I like him a lot) but I am uncomfortable with the amount of money he's spending and what kind of expectations he may have as a result. (sexual, or long term relationship wise) What if it doesn't work out for some reason? I like going out with him but often times I've nearly canceled just so he won't spend any more. How do I handle this?

Well you sound like a great girl. Sit him down and explain to him that you don't need all the money to be spent on you, and that you'd much rather just have his time adn attention! See if that helps.
