"Get close to"

1) With objects this can mean you are not near that object and you would like to be near it.

Example) You are in a classroom and you want to sit near your friend you would say:

"I want to sit close to my friend."


"Get closer to" means you already near that object and you want to be even "more close" to it. Instead of saying "more close" you just say "closer"

Example) You are already sitting at the table near your friend in class but you want to sit in the chair right next to them.

"I want to sit closer to my friend."

-

Someone will tell you to "get close" when they want you to be near something. They will say "get closer" when they want you to be even "more close." But remember we do not say "more close." We just say "closer."





Another explanation is in friendships or relationships this expression can be used.

"I want to get close to that person." means you do not already have a friendship or relationship with that person and you would like to start one.

"I want to get closer to that person." Means you already have a friendship or relationship with that person and you would like to be even better friends or best-friends with them!

I tried to give lots of examples! Hope this helps
