Like preposition
When "like" is used as the meaning of "such as", " for example", does [like + to+ verb] form look natural?
Like is a preposition. So [ to + verb] can be put after " like" as a phrase according to the rule of English grammar. But I hardly saw [ like + to + verb] form. Usually [ like + ~ing] form is used. So I wonder if you use [ like + to + verb] form ?
Thanks in advance :)

"So I wonder if you use [ like + to + verb] form ?"
Yes, absolutely. For example: I am bored, I want to do something to break the boredom, like to eat something or like to watch TV.

I like to figure skate. -- I do it.
I like figure skating. -- I do it or I watch it.
Figure skating is like dancing on ice. -- similarity
Ice sports, like skating, are my favorite. -- skating is an example of the catagory. This is commonly done, but in professional or academic writing, "such as" or "including" would be better.
"And I was like, 'get away from me! You are like so gross!'" -- American teenage slang that drives teachers like crazy.

to + verb can only be put after like when like is a verb, not a preposition

Reread your grammar book. A gerund (verb + -ing) follows a preposition.
