Some people do feel tremendous pressure to be "coupled up". A group of my co-workers plan social things from time to time.. picnic, bowling, Tiger game, comedy club, etc. One of the women in the group (who I am good friends with) will never go because "I don't have a date and everybody will have their spouses with them". There are singles who go and not everybody brings their spouses. Heck, I'm divorced too and I always go. I'm socializing with my co-workers.. who cares if I have a date? Chances are, even if I was married, my spouse wouldn't come because someone has to watch the kids! It's silly.
As for weddings, it does depend on whether you know anybody else or not, who the wedding is for, whether you're dating someone or not, etc. I wouldn't just find some random man to drag to a wedding for the sake of having a date. If I did have a boyfriend, I'd want to take him, so we could dance. (if he doesn't dance, I don't date him, so I don't drag non-dancers to the dance floor!)
