Why didn't Poe meet Rey until...
the end of The Last Jedi?
Poe is standing almost right next to Rey in two different scenes (and looking at her in one) near the end of The Force Awakens. She's just saved his friend's life and indirectly assisted Poe in the destruction of Starkiller Base. Not to mention, she's about to embark on a journey to make his mission have purpose.
Given the lack of pretty girls in the galaxy, I personally would have introduced myself to her a bit sooner.

Poe doesn't like girls.
You don't need to read it because you know I always have a good point.
That's a beautiful picture
Poe, most talented Resistance Pilot. Rey must have heard the name (well she did when Finn said "[this jacket] it belonged to Poe Dameron" to BB8 and Rey next to them). I am sure BB8 also talked about Poe while they were together for whatever amount of time. Could have been one day or several, depending how often Rey goes to Unkar (where she met Finn).
Did Poe hear about Rey? Rey helped get BB8 back to the Resistance before she was kidnapped on Takadona. Finn, Han, and BB8 on D'Qar would have mentioned "this girl named Rey [with no apparent force powers]". BB8 could have recorded some footage of Rey and BB8 was like "this scavenger named Rey was really nice to me, but I couldn't get any footage of her changing clothes since she never did, sorry bro". But after the Destruction of Starkiller base, Rey still wouldn't be particularly noteworthy, since nobody really saw her duel with Kylo, and in any case she could have lost, or they could have both died, or not dueled at all, and Starkiller Base would have still been destroyed.
But Poe believed Luke existed, so Poe knew who she was when Rey left to Ach-to. So it was definitely important to Poe that Rey was finishing was he started.

hmmm.......
Yeah I think the OP has issues with subtext. Poe and Finn are clearly this century’s Maverick and Iceman.
edit: Wouldn’t have referred to @lerodemmy as ‘the OP’ if I’d noticed who posted it, just skim-read and thought you were a random. New avatar?
I'm glad rose kissed finn, that got rid of that disgusting theory everyone came up with. Good riddance
That's some research there. I guess they were both preoccupied with their own agendas. Since she showed up after the battle, Poe probably had no idea who this girl in desert clothes was. She wasn't around very long so it's not too much of a stretch that they didn't formally meet until TLJ. He might've thought he was above the common folk as wing commander until he came to understand just how important, and powerful, she is.
Hahahahah it was great. This thread’s going to a bad place though I can see it coming.
Think about it. Rey has been on hot desert planet her entire life with no showers or baths.
Also she doesn't really seem to change her cloths that often.

I am sure Finn must have smelled the same thing, but he didn't care for some reason. You'd think he would since the First Order must have a high standard on cleanliness.

I don't agree with how you're saying it, but for some reason I have wondered what she did smell like, all things considered, when Rey and Finn and hugging each other for an extended time when reunited on Starkiller base. Rey's a lady, and ladies find a way to keep clean. She probably had a shower built into her AT-AT home on Jakku. Honestly, there's not enough time in a SW movie to keep track of someone's hygiene habits.
I'm not glad rose kissed finn because im not glad rose is even alive, actually im not glad rose is even in existance her sister was a far cooler character
woof....
Luke Skywalker planted a Force tree in Poe's moms garden (NOT what you think, literally in their garden), and its why Poe is such a good pilot. No, I'm not making this up, it was in a comic.
Seeing that still with Leia....I never thought much about it, but it's like she's wearing her own version of a Han Solo outfit. That's not a skin I'll vouch for...
I thought Tallie was confirmed to be a lesbian?
All maybe he's just into Twi'leks.

Rest in peace, Carrie Fisher.

Did you know... that it was in the original script late into production for TFA that BB-8 was supposed to accompany Rey and company to Ach-To? Writing and knowing what he had planned with Luke for TLJ, Rian Johnson asked JJ Abrams for R2 to go instead, knowing that R2 would be a catalyst to change Luke's mind about teaching Rey.
You might ask "why in the world would BB-8 go on this trip when he belongs to Poe?" BB-8 served his purpose as the carrier of "the map to Skywalker" and returned to his master. The bond between pilot and astromech (like Luke and R2) can be very strong, as demonstrated by Poe and BB'8's interactions in both movies. It only makes sense that R2 would come along because he would want to see Luke again.
So to return to the question, if Rey and Poe had not met by that point based on the original script idea, then a meeting would certainly be implied that it had happened. Other than that I stick to the comments I made earlier.
Rose sexually assaulted him! He did not give consent. Disney supports sexual assault. Only kidding but.......
If Rose was planning of killing her self to save Finn, she should have just done what Finn was planning to do.
But then again, in all of his time in the Resistance, Poe, who was a Commander, didn't even know what Vice Admiral Holdo looked like let alone never met her. OK.
