The same way you would with anyone...spend time with Him.
Right. But how?
I would suggest two things to start:
...start reading the Bible to learn about Him
...start an ongoing conversation with Him
It wouldn't hurt to start dialoging with others who know Him also.
And welcome to the site.
Just ask God if it would be OK to get to know each other better. Glad to have you join us. Welcome to CC.
Welcome to Christian Chat.
You asked the most important question I could think of.
Fortunately it has a simple answer.
For more information the following short message should help.

Welcome, CuriousRachael. Talk to Jesus. Ask Him to help you get to know Him.
pick up a Bible, start reading, start praying.
if you are serious about wanting to learn, the Lord will help you understand His Wors.
Hi CuriousRachael glad the Lord led you here, welcome to CC! The New Testament is a good way to start reading the Bible and/or a One Year Bible, that goes throught the Old Testament(OT), NT, Psalms & Proverbs each day. I listen with captions on to a 1yr Bible reading every day as well as studying and watching some Christian TV. As has been suggested ask the Lord for the Holy Spirit to open your spiritual eyes so you can comprehend the scriptures better. God bless & keep you!
Welcome Rachael, can you be more specific about what you are curious about?
It is easy to tell someone to do one thing or another, like read the Bible or pray, but many times those answers do not really fit the question, so can you be more specific?

I am curious as to why the reaction icons have totally vanished along with the amount each member had accumulated. Disappointing change for sure. Maybe somebody got a RED X, got their feelings hurt, and then complained. Sad really. This is an example of 'woke'.

Revelation 21:1-8
New International Version
21 Then I saw “a new heaven and a new earth,” for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. 2 I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. 4 ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”
5 He who was seated on the throne said, “I am making everything new!” Then he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.”
6 He said to me: “It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To the thirsty I will give water without cost from the spring of the water of life. 7 Those who are victorious will inherit all this, and I will be their God and they will be my children. 8 But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars—they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.”
