In a LDR now, have been for over year, although it feels like 2? We were on a weird "overly friendly best friends" kick complete with net-kissing until we decided to make it official. The one I was in previously fell through because I wasn't familiar with him (we had talked for maybe a month) and because of a maturity gap, although that's another conversation. I've been talking to my current love for over five years, so having time to actually get to know a person is certainly helpful. You mention wanting to know him more, which makes me wonder how long you have been talking to him, is it a considerable amount of time? Me and E love to watch movies and youtube together! We use Rabb.it to watch together or just browse the internet (it's fun to go ebay lurking). Uhhh, what do you want tips on? I'm sure some others could provide the usual "make sure they're real" internet dating spiels that you're probably familiar with already.
Hang out with them in person as much as is feasible. I realize that can be really hard when it's a LDR. But if you intend to have a serious relationship at some point, it's really important.Someone can be a totally nice person who you love to chat with, who is a great friend, and then when you hang out in person you find out . . . "wow, I would not want to live with them full time."

"wow, I would not want to live with them full time." This.There's a part of people that only show when you can be with them in person. And our minds will "fill in the blanks" and that can be really bad if you want to actually be serious about the relationship.Don't get me wrong. I'm a supporter of LDR, my mom was in one for 15+ years before her BF moved in a few months ago. But there were ups and downs, and they had to overcome a lot of stuff.
It's unfortunate that it's different countries. Me and E are just on different coasts, but we may be able to meet up soon (in the next year or two) to test the waters. Totally voice call if you can, it gives you a slightly better idea of who they are instead of just carefully calculated text!
