I think saying "This is {NAME}" would be the best way to introduce a significant other you aren't engaged or married to. People can usually figure out by body language what the situation is (unless the couple is very anti-PDA, no-touchy-in-public) and if you don't say the word "friend," people may be less likely to think it's platonic.
