    Entirely dependent on the context. All three phrases have multiple meanings, try posting the phrases in context.

    1-I got to realize it more when I grew older.(get to = to reach a point at which you feel, know, are, etc....something)
    2-I got to know him. (similar the meaning above)
    3-You‘ll get to speak English more easily as time goes by.( get to = to feel, the meaning is simlar to 1th sentence)
    3-Wayne’s getting to be a lovely kid. ( get to = to start to be sth)
    4-I slowly came to realize that she knew what she was doing.( the meaning is similar to the one of it in the first sentence)
    5-we will come to regret your decision. ( to come to = to reach a point where you realize, understand, or believe sth)
    6-He grew to accept his stepmother and she hoped that one day he would grow to love her.( to grow + infinitive = to gradually begin to do sth, for example, I'm sure you'll grow to like her in time)
    7- I grew to dislike working for the cinema. ( the meaning of grow to is the same above)
