Bonjour Michael, I admit that I had to look this one up. In a word, yes, poser un lapin is a french locution that means «to stand someone up». From the online Collins-Robert Dictionary we have this listing: poser un lapin à qn to stand sb up J'espère que ma réponse vous aiderait. Bonne chance et bonne continuation dans vos études en français, la langue de Molière et qui a été utilisé par le monde français depuis l’époque d’Hugues Capet
