It sounds to me like you are just asking this from more of a practical standpoint -- wondering what people do to get to know each other in these kinds of relationships (i.e., should you and your match hit it off especially well and continue to see each other).

Given that you are only 3 hours apart, you wouldn't have to contend with some of the issues that people who are more than a day's drive away, or who have to jump on a plane in order to see each other. You are close enough to easily spend weekends together, and even a "day" date isn't out of the question , especially if you meet somewhere in the middle (perhaps you are in fact doing that when you meet in a couple of weeks).

Obviously you are too far apart to spend regular time together during the week, but you can still communicate easily by phone and computer and continue to get to know each other that way.

The posters above are correct in that some of this stuff just unfolds and gets figured out as needed. With a long-distance relationship, though, it can be more important to talk more directly about what each of your needs (and constraints) are regarding time together and how you can each accommodate that....

There have been a number of threads here about long-distance relationships that you might want to peruse; you can see a few of them highlighted in the "Similar threads" section below.
