Welcome to UsingEnglish.com

Both are correct.

Not a teacher nor a native speaker.

Welcome to the forums, braziliam. The first one is not correct.

Oh, I usually don't answer on questions when I'm not absolutely sure. In this case, I was absolutely sure, but, bhai, your post confused me.
What's wrong with the first one?

I'd go for "like to meet".

I'm sorry I answered wrongly on your question, brazilian.

The first isn't ungrammatical, but it is awkward, and we know that English students want their English to flow and sound like normal conversation.

I answered wrongly on your question.

Should it be 'I wrongly answered your question'?

You can use either form after "like" in things like "I like swimming" and "I like to swim."

But in this case, it's an invitation. Would you like to [do something]? It's not a reference to an ongoing type of activity, like "swimming."
