Quedar

¡Hola!

Tengo una pregunta sobre esta expresión nueva que encontré hoy. Por ejemplo:

"Lo siento. Es que a las cinco menos cuarto tengo dentista y a las ocho he quedado con Martín para cenar."

Y

"No, lo siento. El miércoles ya he quedado con George."

Mi pregunta es: ¿qué significa "he quedado con" en inglés?

Muchas gracias.

quedar has a vast number of meanings, but the one here is this one (from the Gran diccionario Oxford):

B (citarse): me tengo que ir porque he quedado con Rafael I have to go because I've arranged to meet Rafael; ¿a qué hora/dónde quedamos? what time/where shall we meet?; quedé con unos amigos para cenar I arranged to meet some friends for dinner, I arranged to go out for dinner with some friends
