It was nice meeting you? or it was nice to meeting you?
I heard someone say "it was nice to meeting you" the other day. I thought it was "it was nice meeting you" (without "to") for a long time, because I was thinking that "to" couldn't be followed by gerunds (except "looking forward to ~ing").
Do both "it was nice meeting you" and "it was nice to meeting you" mean the same thing?
You can either say,
It was nice meeting you
or
It was nice to meet you
If you want to reply when someone says this to you, you can reply
It was nice meeting you, too
or
It was nice to meet you as well

both of them are said when you meet someone for the first time
but
nice to meet you: when you are just introduced to someone
nice meeting you : when you are going to leave someone you've just been introduced to
