When is the right time to introduce your child to the new man?

So here it is, I've been seeing a bloke for nearly six months and I've not yet introduced him to my wee boy. I'm getting increasing pressure from all sides that I should do the meet and greet. The thing is I just don't know when is "Too soon". The ex partner and father of my child introduced his new GF after five weeks which I thought was ridiculas and I believe it was done for a reaction from me. (That failed)
But now I'm being told by the exes mum, sister and family that I should introduce my guy. My friends think it's ridiculas I haven't yet either.
So guys what I'm asking is what do you all think is an acceptable time to do the big meet?

Thanks in advance :)

Wait until you want to do it, and plan something to do that's fairly short and sweet - lunch or a walk, for example. I waited just off a year and that was right for us. I didn't want to introduce them until I knew we were in it for the long haul, and it's worked out great.
