In which situations is it appropiate to use one or the other.

When I tell someone it was a pleasure meeting them I mean that I would like to continue to get to know them and usually try to do that. it was a pure delight to be in their company. They possess qualities and values that I admire or are just an interesting person and maybe we could be friends in time. If it was nice to meet someone it means, to me, just that, you're nice but I'm not interested in a relationship for whatever reason, and not necessarily a negative reason, just not interested.

Not much of a difference really. It was nice meeting you = nice. It was a pleasure meeting you = you were really pleased. Both can be used in any situation but do mean what you say.

I think the difference is two words, if you are counting.
Also when people say it was a pleasure it seems to add something, like you enjoyed it as opposed to "Well, it wasn't painful."

No difference. It's like asking someone "how are you?" when you meet, as in "Hi, how are you?" Nodoby actually expects an honest answer to that question--it's just a social convention, like shaking hands.

If you have a big nose and ware a monocle then its "a
pleasure" If your not snooty then "It was nice". In that case
the pleasure was mine.
