What does the phrase "get to know" mean?

The phrase get to know refers to the long process of really learning about another person and actually knowing him or her well. Many times this process can take months or years. Example:

Sarah’s a hard person to get to know. I’ve been dating her for almost a year now and there’s still so much I don’t know about her!

Be careful not to confuse get to know and meet.
