Input: Throwaway as my friends know my real Reddit account.

So a couple weeks ago, I started dating this girl who I had a crush on for 2 years. She is considered to be part of the “popular” clique and is pretty integrated in it. I, however, have my own group of friends who are not connected in any way with the other group. 

Since I started dating her, the clique has started trying to get me to be a part of their group, as it is some kind of tradition as soon as an outsider starts dating one of their group members, they join the group.

I have seen this happen to one of my good friends, and he left most of his outsider friends behind as he integrated with the clique. I do not want to be like him. My friends are possibly the best I could ask for.

I also must state that they have wanted *nothing* to do with me and some of them have even verbally bullied me before. 

I politely declined their offer but they still try to get me in their group as one of their own even though I don’t like some of them. A few of them are ok and I do occasionally speak with them. 

AITA for not wanting to socialise with them?
