    Hi Robbie! Yes, those curly fries are delish! To be grammatically correct, you'd have to say ' I'm looking forward to meeting you'. Or 'I look forward to meeting you'. 'Look forward to meet' is wrong and a lot of students make this mistake. After a preposition, use a gerund.

    The preposition 'to' has multiple functions in English. I would assume the sentence, 'I'm looking forward to meeting you.' is an exception to rule because sometimes I hear people use 'to meet' rather than its gerund form. Please let me know which is more grammatical. By the way, those curly fries are delish! Just eat in moderation or your blood pressure would rise up. :)
