I'm supposing you really mean met with -- had a meeting with, and not met -- was introduced to him for the first time. I've liked him ever since I met with him. For the "introduction" meaning: I've liked him ever since I met him.

That's what I've always thought but recently I saw a post by a native on this topic, in which has an example:

I visit my mother every week since I bought the car.

Sounds a bit rough to my ear. I'd have said: I've been visiting my mother ...
