when is it right?

hey guys! I've written once before, and now I have a different dilema, same guy. Recap: We've been seeing each other for four months. We've talked and decided we would like to continue seeing each other, and are both interested in a serious relationship if things work out. Now, he's 30, I'm 25, we both work full time and have our own places. He, however, comes from a rather wealthy family, while I've been scraping by for as long as I can remember. At first I didn't give this any thought, but I still haven't been introduced to his parents or friends, even though they do know about me. He says he has no problem with me meeting them, but hasn't made any effort to make it happen. One of my friends from school has mentioned that I might be his "little secret", and that's made me a little paranoid. We do a lot of things together, go out every weekend, usually stay together on Weds. nights, and I've met people that we run into by chance while we're out. I'm kind of beginning to wonder if something is up, though, and all of my people are surprised that I haven't met his family yet. Any outside opinions? How long is too long for the "meeting the parents" rite of passage in a relationship? I know his dad has asked when he'll get to meet me, and bf just ducked the question.
