I haven't seen/met you for a long time

Hello everyone. I have a question.

Regarding the following four sentences:

(A) I haven't seen you for a long time.
(B) I haven't met you for a long time.

(C) I haven't seen him for two years.
(D) I haven't met him for two years.

Q1 Can we say (B) instead of (A) to mean "Long time no see"?

Q2 How about (C) and (D)? Can we use (D) to mean the same thing as (C)?
