Top answer

I hope to see you there = I hope we're there at the same time and place -attending the same event, sharing in a collective activity. Or, I hope = I am softly warning you - I hope you make it on time for the next critical discussion. I hope to be seeing you more often because I realize I really enjoy your company.

The first sentence is correct.
The second sentence isn't.

There isn't an alternative to to be seeing you. Consider the song lyric: I hope to be seeing you in all the right places. It relates the anticipatory mode associated with the first formal illustration (hope to see) and the hint of desired company created with saying: I hope to be seeing you...More often. Thanks

That wasn't the sentence. You have changed the sentence. Solidguy asked about his two sentences.

Skype, you're giving a very detailed answer to a question that has not been asked. The original question asked about the difference between "hope to see" and "hope to seeing."

Hello,
I think and as it's said before me,the second sentence isn't correct.However,you can say :

I am happy seeing a movie = I am happy while in the act of watching a movie.correct
I'm happy to see a movie = I am happy with the idea of watching a movie/going to the movies.correct

"look forward to " and the other examples I mentioned need a direct object .All the examplesI gave and there are more,already have "to" which is a preposition.To here is like other prepositions "for,of,about...etc"=I'm afraid of speaking NOT speak in public.
And because there are some adjectives or phrasal verbs which already have "to" and require a direct object,GERUND is in fact the direct
