I`d like to know the difference between them. I encountered a sentence blow in a dictionary. "I pegged her as a total bore when she first started working here, but since getting to know her, she's actually pretty interesting." # Would the meaning of the sentence change if I rephrase it like this? 1. ~ but since I've gotten to know her, ~ 2. ~ but since I got to know her, ~ # Is there any nuance difference between them?
