Even a room full of married people won't be rude and let you be a wallflower.

Lol...depends on how much you (I) can come up with good conversation so that they don't feel like they are babysitting, lol.
I am not saying that these people would be rude I just don't want to feel like they have to entertain me...I like when that happens naturally.
But what you and the other have said is all being take as very good advise and some thing that I probably would enjoy better.
The one only thing that really makes me want to take date (to be a little more protective of myself - socially) is that I think or sense that I am in competition with one of the other women for favoritism on keeping a job there ( where the big bosses will lean more toward me in any discussions with a couple of supervisors). I like them (the supervisors not the co worker) but one of them feels very sympatric toward co worker...maybe even having an affair. The co worker is married and so is he (his wife actually started working there this year at night to keep an eye on him-but that is their prob or way of dealing with "tax season".
But anyway I have over heard complaining to this one supervisor (from the co worker) even from the start about him giving me work (instead of giving it to her). No work you know what that means. I don't want to give her any ammunition like going to the party alone and giving her an opening to express that to others in a demeaning way......people love gossip,lol. I would rather show up with a date even a boring one, lol, just to limit what anyone can say regarding me socially.
I am only there 2 months she is there probably, I am going to guess, a year or 2. Already I have heard derogatory statements from her because of her anger and jealousy towards me (not directly to me but while I was in her presence)...so I really don't want to be able to put any doubts into anyone's mind about anything. My work is much better than hers and she is feeling very insecure, someone like that is capable of doing much harm....and I really like this company (I am not in love with it but why go looking if I might have an opportunity there). I really like most if not all the co workers....except for you know who (right now anyway) But she is a trouble maker and that spreads.
I know this is a lot to deal with for a party but sometime you have to jump through some hoops to get what you want. And then maybe it would just be best to not give a crap and just go and get what ever I can out of it and that's that.
My apologies for the long post.
Keep posting I am getting some good ideas. One will work! I know it will.
