Grammar
I never met her since we had broke up.
I know that the structure of "since past tense, S + has / have p.p...." is okay and then how about the structure of since past tense or past perfect tense, S + past tense or past perfect tense? For example,
1) I had never met her since we broke up.
2) I had never met her since we had broke up.
3) I never met her since we had broke up.
4) I never met her since we broke up.
I think that #3 is logically correct, but I am not sure of the others, so what do you native English speakers think and do you use the structures differently?
Thank you so much as usual and I really hope to hear from you.
