Lesson 15
To stand up, to let down, to get over something or somebody

VICKI: Picture this: You're standing in the rain waiting for your date.
MATT: You've been waiting for a long time.
VICKI: Where are they?
VICKI: It looks like they've stood you up!
MATT: Yup. They've arranged a date, but they're not coming - they've stood you up.
VICKI: It's horrible being stood up.
MATT: You feel that they've let you down!
VICKI: They've not done what they said they'd do.

VICKI: So the relationship's over...
MATT: Yeah. That's it. It's the end. You never want to see them again as long as you live!
VICKI: It's not easy though, is it? If someone was really special to you.
MATT: No. You need time to get over them!
VICKI: That's right - you need some time to get used to life without them, to accept the end of the relationship. So, you get on with your life, meet someone new... and the whole thing starts over again! Let's hope it goes better this time.

Examples:

to stand someone up: I really don't want to go out tonight - I'm going to stand him up.

to let someone down: He said he could help me fix my television, but he's let me down.
