You need to stop going to dinner parties
and start trawling bars.

Edit: Sub question - Is there anything more tedious than a dinner party filled with couples?

It's not really a posh dinner party
but it's one of those things where I will get moments of feeling a bit awkward.

It may if you want to attract the kind of men
that wear cardigans and have iPhones and wear scarves indoors.

...and take themselves way too seriously

well, it's not tedious if you don't hang out with tedious couples.

I think the problem with any
party which is largely couples is that bit towards the end when they get all huggy with each other and you're kinda left trying to make conversation and not looking awkward

you're hanging out with the wrong couples, then.
Huggy at dinner parties? what's up with them? break out the 'buca and fire up a game of strip twister.

see? wrong friends .. ;)
if you had the right friends, it would be cool.

actually it can be mildly irritating being the only single but seriously, if your couply friends get all cuddly at dinner parties they need a kick in the cunt and to grow the fuck up, in that order.

mostly I had that
at a normal party round a friends' house. To be fair it was 3am, but still
