What's the difference? between "to meeting you" and "to meet you"
A) I'm looking forward to meeting you.
B) I'm looking forward to meet you.
What do you mean by B ? What situation do you use B in? Isn't B used?
If you used B, Is "meet" in B a noun?

Hi Talcha
I'll try to answer your question.
'looking forward to' is a verb phrase. 'To' is a preposition hence it must be followed by a noun or an –ing form.
So you must use the rule 'to + Gerund' and not 'to +infinitive'.
Gerund (aka verbal noun) is a noun formed from a verb by adding the suffix –ing to its end.
Ex: I'm looking forward to your letter. (to is followed by a noun)
I'm looking forward to hearing from you. (to is followed by a –ing form).
A is correct but I don't think that B is correct. A is correct but I don't think that B is correct. As a non-native English speaker I do get confused and use the to-infinitive sometimes.

as Talcha explained, A is tottaly correct, but based on grammar rules, B is wrong: after "TO" the verb can't be on infinitive form, only with sulfix 'ing', in gerund.
