leave someone hanging
make someone wait for an answer
To leave someone hanging means to make them wait without replying, deciding, or explaining what will happen.
Hear it in real life
Did the company reply to your application?
No, they have left me hanging for two weeks.
Please don't leave me hanging if you decide to cancel the plan.
The mistake everyone makes
Not: The company left me hanging to two weeks.
Say: The company left me hanging for two weeks.
Use “for” to say how long someone was kept waiting.
