Have you just had a meeting, conversation, or date with someone or you are still planning to but want to know another way to say it was a pleasure meeting you?

After meeting someone in person or virtually for the first time, especially when it is someone that you have interacted with via email, chat or call, when closing the conversation, it is curtesy to use the phrase “it was a pleasure meeting you” or “it was nice meeting you.”

You can even send them a message hours or days after the meeting just to let them know how you felt about it. Such a compliment will give them reassurance that their presence was appreciated. 

However, sometimes you might even prefer to say “it was a pleasure meeting you” in a different but accepted manner. But you want to avoid using an inappropriate phrase since it might ruin a good meeting or relationship.

It was a pleasure meeting you meaning

It was a pleasure meeting you is a formal polite English phrase you say to someone after a meeting or a conversation, especially if you’re meeting for the first time. It is used to show your gratitude for having an opportunity to meet with that person. 

In other words, you are saying thank you for showing up, I am happy I got to know you. 

Unlike “pleasure to meet you” or “nice to meet you”, a phrase that is used as an introduction to someone you are meeting for the first time, “it was a pleasure meeting you” is past tense. 

Some people also use this phrase also as an introduction for a follow-up meeting or email. For instance, they might send an email saying “it was a pleasure meeting you last week. Please let me know which date will be convenient for you to …”
