Nice to meet you! vs. Nice meeting you!

Hi dear colleagues! Hope everybody�s doing GREAT! I was wondering to know the specific difference between "Nice to meet you" and "Nice meeting you". Thanks a lot in advance! |

Hi! In the case of greeting somebody for the first time, only the first one can be used. Both can be used when taking one�s leave and saying goodbye after a first meeting. I hope that helps. |

In general, "Nice to meet you" would be used when you first meet someone, and "Nice meeting you" when you say goodbye after the first meeting. However, "(It was) nice to meet you" is also ok for saying goodbye after meeting someone for the first time. |
