Yes! "I am going to meet" (intention) and "I am meeting" (arrangement) are very similar. Native speakers often use "I am meeting" because it sounds 100% confirmed, like you already booked a table or bought a ticket. Both are correct! 📅
Why not use simple present? "I meet my friend tonight". Is that wrong?
It is not natural for personal plans. We only use Simple Present for the future when talking about timetables or schedules (like buses, movies, classes). So: "The movie starts at 8 PM" (Timetable), but "I am watching a movie at 8 PM" (Personal plan). 🎬
Can I use "I'm going to meet" instead of "I am meeting"?
