know/met

You've been lying to me since the first day I [know/met] you.

Is there any difference in meaning between know and met?

Thanks!

In this context, I'd say there's no significant difference between the two, right?

I would suggest that "since the first day" indicates "met" rather than "know".

As a footnote: it might be more natural to say:

1. You've been lying to me since the day we met.

2. You've been lying to me for as long as we've known each other.

(Don't forget that the past tense of "know" is "knew".)
