What's the most appropriate sentence?

It feels as if I met you yesterday, although I last met you 7 years ago.
I feel like I met you yesterday, although I last met you 7 years ago.
I feel as if I met you yesterday, although I last met you 7 years
ago.

What's the most appropriate sentence? And what's the difference ?

All three sentences are grammatical and mean the same thing. However, in the US none of the three would be used because they sound too formal and 19th century (especially the phrase: "I last met you"). There might be very subtle differences between the three but they aren't worth going into since none of the sentences would be used today.
