Can you? Obviously. Should you? Probably not.

This.

If he's worked with you for two years, he probably knows you're socially inept by now, and he still wants you there. Go there and awkward it up.

Be polite and show up.
Relax.
Talk casually.
Be receptive.
Have a few drinks.
Leave after a couple hours if you're not having a good time but don't make it sound like you were bored or had a bad time.

You'll have every day the rest of the year to indulge in your autistic obsessions and shitpost.

Maybe you'll meet a woman or make a friend.
Shit, don't be afraid to make a friend by seeking help in meeting a woman.

>Maybe you'll meet a woman or make a friend.
Do not go in with this mindset.

prepare a joke in advanced, something memorable if possible, just make your boss or the son remember that you were there, maybe take a picture with them. Have light small talk with one or two other people and take note of something in the environment or the other guests you can mention in conversation if this party comes up in the future. You actually being there is just about as important as the impression that you were there.
