Top answer
With "nice to meet you" and "nice meeting you", the common response is "You too" or "For me too", which is intended as a repeat of what was said by the first speaker. So, if you want to respond with the full form, and that would be also correct to do so, I'd advise saying the same as the first speaker. Judy: Nice to meet you, Leo.

"Nice to meet you" normally stands for "It IS nice to meet you", and is
therefore said at the time of meeting (typically while shaking hands, etc.),
while "nice meeting you" is most commonly used to mean "It WAS nice
meeting you", i.e. just before parting, to repeat/ reinforce the sentiment
earlier expressed by "nice to meet you".

When you first meet someone, you would say "nice to meet you." At the end of
the conversation, you can say "It was nice meeting you" or "It was nice to
have met you," or more informally, "nice meeting you." But "nice meeting you"
would be odd when first introduced. Likewise, "nice to see you" when you first
join your friend for lunch, but "nice seeing you" as you leave, etc.
