"hadn't have done"

I hadn't have met you since 2 years ago.



Can I say/write something like that? It's to be interpreted as "until some time/event, I haven't been in a certain state", in this case: "until 2 years ago, I could say 'I haven't met you'".

Is it at all correct or acceptable? Thanks for any help.

Your suggestion is completely wrong. Hadn't have met and similar structures are always wrong. I think you mean I haven't met you in/for two years.

No. I think you're aiming for this:

I haven't seen you in two years.
