I'm betting it's mostly a pride thing. She probably doesn't want to fall into the trap of "my boyfriend buys me stuff and takes me on cool trips, but I can't repay him." Some women have no problem with that situation... but some of us really, really do.
Does she act the same way if money isn't involved? Say, if you rub her back or something, does she relax and accept that?
