I didn't see it on the forum (maybe I didn't search enough well enough), so I thought I'd share an idea I had a while back and that my GF and I just tried: "furnishing an apartment together". By this, I mean simply go to something like the Ikea website, or whatever sites that have large galleries of pictures of furnished apartment/houses in various styles, and comment on them on Skype: do you like it or not, what do you like about it, would you like the same furniture in your future home, do you like the colors, etc.
It's great to learn about your SO's tastes and also brings up many subjects related to how you would live together eventually, what kind of apartment/house you would like, etc. My GF and I ended up concluding that we have matching styles (provided that she doesn't paint our future bedroom in green).
An alternative: we also visited a website with castles for sales (there are a lot in Europe, France in particular), and did the same (do you like this one? why? why not? etc.). Now my GF is joking that I should give up my researcher job and go work for Google to make money and buy one of those. :-P
