I meet some friends vs I have met some friends

Both phrases are correct, but they’re used in different contexts. 'I meet some friends' is in the simple present tense and talks about a habitual action or a general truth. On the other hand, 'I have met some friends' is in the present perfect tense and talks about an action that happened at an unspecified time in the past with a connection to the present.
