How to use the phrase "look forward to"? Should I use only gerund after "to"?

yes. Usually we put the verb in its infinitive state after "to" except in "look forward to", for example: I'm looking forward to seeing you/ I'm looking forward to hearing from you soon/ ...etc Check this for more info: http://www.englisch-hilfen.de/en/grammar/gerund_prepositions_verbs.htm

That is correct. If you were to follow "to" with a verb, it must be a gerund (meaning it ends in "-ing"). Examples: "I look forward to talking with you." "They look forward to playing soccer." However, you can follow "to" with other parts of speech, particularly nouns. Examples: "I look forward to our talk." (In this context, "talk" is not a verb, but a noun.) "They look forward to the soccer game." Source: myself, American English
