Should I cancel

[MscleLovr]

I feel that if you have to ask online whether you should cancel, you already know the answer. If it is 'true' influenza - not a heavy cold, not man-flu - it is very debilitating and you can be rather infectious for a long time.

 

Now the guy you had planned to meet may be young and fit with a very strong immune system. He may not get infected by you. But as other posters have suggested, you must inform him and let him decide for himself whether he wants to keep the appointment. After all, if he does get infected, he will have a very unpleasant 1-2 weeks.
