When you say 'I have never met him', you are actually talking about your present situation. And the present perfect would imply that the subject does not have the experience of meeting him, It did not happen before, so it is not part of his experience now. Present perfect refers to the consequence now of an action before. So, you still have the opportunity to meet him.
When you say 'I never met him', it means in no time in the past did you meet him. Therefore requires a more specific context.

@Cathy_04 "I have never met him" is the present perfect tense while "I never met him" is the past simple tense. Here, you can say, "I never met him" or "I haven't met him yet."

@Cathy_04 When you want to talk about an event that happened not long ago, you use the present perfect tense. The past simple tense is usually used to talk about an event that is not linked with the present. For example, "Three years ago, I met my husband." I hope it's helpful.
