We have not met since the meeting referred to.

You can say, "It's been a long time since we first met," and that could describe a situation in which we are now together.

(Sorry, I can't turn the damned underscore off!)

It's not a hard and fast rule. "Met" can have shades of meaning.
It can be understood to mean, "since I made your acquaintance."
