Let's say someone was asked "are you going to shul tomorrow?" and the other person answers "yes." Does that count as a Neder?

BTW Rav Mutzafi says that Nedarim are only on Mitzvot, Torah etc.

I don't think you are interpreting R. Mutzafi correctly. There are many cases in m. nedarim dealing with someone who is moder hanaa. – YDK Jan 8 '12 at 17:35
@YDK Exact language: זה לא נדר , כי רק בעניני מצוות זה נדר , ולא בעניני חול . – Hacham Gabriel Jan 8 '12 at 17:40
Also, yes you are correct, but it really depends. The Halachot are very complicated. There is even a Gemara in Gitin about this I believe. – Hacham Gabriel Jan 8 '12 at 17:41
Could you post the case, he say "ze lo neder". That may clarify his intent. – YDK Jan 8 '12 at 17:57
לכבוד הרב אם אמרתי שאני לוקחת על עצמי לא להתקשר לבן אדם עד ש.. ולא אמרתי בלי נדר האם זה נדר שאני צריכה לקיים? – Hacham Gabriel Jan 8 '12 at 17:58
