Does "socialize" have broader meaning than just "meet"?

Yes, that's correct. To "socialize" means to engage in any social activity, so it is more closely related to verbs like "interact," "mingle," or "mix." Ex: Our CEO is down-to-earth and likes to socialize with all the employees. Ex: He has an introverted personality, so he doesn't like to socialize with others.
