As soon as my wife and I moved in together, we started sharing an account. We never ran into any real troubles with who spends what or pays for what. I've always made more money and have paid basically all the bills. Her money pays for food and everything else. We each have our own business accounts, hers for Avon and mine for my Lego business. We don't really take money out of those, so there isn't much concern about them.
As for your situation, I'd be very careful of him trying to control you while you are just dating and not living together. It may be a sign of control in general and may move to trying to control other aspects of your life. Until you start sharing bills and purchases, your money is your money.
