I have not had a relationship for a while and my yoga teacher has invited me to go to a religious party with her husband and her. The problem is that the party is going to be on another city and I will have to spend a lot of money on transport and accomodation. It should be fun, but I feel a little uncomfortable for going with a couple, also I am very open minded but I dont belong to the same religion and I wont know anyone there. I know she will try things such as introducing me to guys, and I am afraid she will be forcing some situations to get me a date (even if with the best intentions).It can be quite embarassing and my experience shows me it seldom works. On the other hand, would it be better just stay home? What could I tell her?

I know the feeling, people trying to push others together is wrong. Tell your friends that although you are happy they are thinking about you it is on the other hand a bit disrespectful to you.
When you are ready and you meet the right person then it will happen the more they force the less chance it will happen and any encounters will became awkward, so in fact they could ruin your chances.
Tell them politely but firmly to back off a bit.

I know exactly how you feel, sweetheart. When I was going to school in the 1980s and 1990s, everybody wanted me to go out with this lame guy in school. I was not at all interested in him because we were complete opposites; I was the BRAIN, and he was the JOCK. I was also not at all interested in him because I was far too young and definitely not ready to get into a serious relationship.
If your friends wanted you to be with someone that you know in your heart you are not interested in this person, then try to be as polite and as honest as you can. Also, tell them that you are not ready to get into a serious relationship right now. That will give you ample time to keep your heart, mind, and options completely open.

Oh, darn, some of my family just arrived from out of town. I'm so sorry I can't go. I hope you have fun, though, I sure was looking forward to it, maybe next time!
Get it?
