Outside of that context it would be quite different, and it is a stranger situation. I have a Youtube vlog and have met a few of my viewers.
When I see them for the first time, they say: I know you, but we haven't met.
I get all embarrassed because I naturally think I have forgotten their name.

Have you met Paul means that you actually saw him in person while do you know Paul tells that you acknowledge that person whether you've heard him, seen him, read on a newspaper or anything that would give him an info.
