I definitely agree with Bella Dea. It all depends on your strength and how much you really care about their voice.
If you'd be uncomfortable being with her, and if you'd become upset or depressed about being with her, then don't drag her into something that could be hurtful.
But if you know she's wonderful, and if you're willing to push everyone else out of the picture if they try to mess things up, and to give the cold shoulder a few times (harder than it sounds
), go for it.
For me personally, I didn't care about what anyone thought about the people I dated... but that was easier for me to do, because none of them were in the same classes as my friends and I, and the most significant one did not go to my school.
