get on, keep living, that way

지내다 is how you are getting on over a stretch of time, not a single event. 알고 지내다 "be acquainted, keep in touch" appears twice here, and 뭐 하고 지내시나요? is the standard "what have you been up to?". 말 놓고 지내자 proposes dropping the polite speech and staying that way from now on. The -고 clause is a condition you carry through the period, not something you finish.
