I believe that during the time of peace between the two races, they had a battle and fought each other. Keep in mind that Meliodas was cold and was very powerful and everyone he fought at that time he could effortlessly beat. While in their battle Meliodas might have been shocked that the goddess Elizabeth was very strong (It might not make sense that she is on Meliodas's power level, but seeing as she is the Supreme Deitys daugther i does a little.) After this you have to make up what happened, my idea is that elizabeth may have defeated Meliodas causing him to gain interest in her. Or maybe he did not want to fight her because he was interested in who she was and why she was almost as powerful as him. After this battle they had secret meetings which is confirmed in the manga/anime. This could have furthered their relationship which lead them to fall in love and have their first kiss. Which is basically all we know, I do think its bad to leave out so many secrets especially how they met and even more secrets the manga/anime doesnt tell us even when the manga has already finished. But maybe Nakaba (The author/creator of seven deadly sins) might reveal all these in the sequel, at least I would hope.

Keep in mind that their battle as their first encounter is not confirmed but implied in the ark where the Demon King takes control of Zeldris. (Sorry if this is a spolier to you) I dont remeber the chapter where he mentioned this, nor what he said exactly. But what happened in this chapter where it is implied is Meliodas and Elizabeth try to defeat the Demon King and save Zeldris from the Demon Kings control over his body. The Demon King tries to take Elizabeth hostile and tells Meliodas that if he tries to attack him he will hurt Elizabeth. Elizabeth laughs and overpowers the without any effort pursues the Demon King with her abilities such as ark and that when Meliodas says to not underestimate Elizabeth as HE did once before and that he should know Elizabeths nickname in the underworld is blood stained Ellie. This implies that Meliodas once underestimated Elizabeth but then realized she was very powerful, which could have happened in a battle, it also confirms that the goddess Elizabeth could have really been on par with Meliodas strenght way back when he was leading the Ten Commandments.

At least this is what I think happened and might have been implied to happen, Im too lazy to fact check this but feel free to disagree I know I just wrote a whole essay but hopefully this answers your question. Its up to our imagination to speculate how they met for now. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯  Although I just realized you may have already known about this and maybe your point was just to talk about why Nakaba doesnt mention this, and how bad of a choice this is. So um oops :)
