А вообще что-то искусственное в этом предложении. Так как словари дают «встретиться», и «знакомиться» в качестве перевода to meet, Николай, Вы, возможно, хотели узнать, как их различают носители языка. Не могу говорить о , британском английском, но в international English (который многое берёт из американского), «знакомиться с кем-то» - to meet someone, встретиться с кем-то - to meet (up) with someone. Если Вы впервые встретились с кем-то, то это подразумевает знакомство. Так что, если у Вас такой случай, то скажут просто We met...

I agree with Tatiana. If the meaning is one of going somewhere and (finally) meeting one another in person, then I would say "we met up (somewhere) and introduced ourselves/put a face to the name." GET ACQUAINTED is more of a process - getting to know someone over time, hanging out with mutual friends, chatting online, working together, living together, etc. However, BECOME ACQUAINTED can refer to the moment two people are introduced to one another.
