"I am looking forward to seeing you" and "I look forward to see you.".Which one is correct grammatically?
  

Top answer

The first because 'to' is not part of 'to see' here. 'to look forward to' is an idiomatic verb phrase, so you are looking forward to some event. That event can't be 'see you', but it can be 'seeing you'.

Look forward to " Phrasal Verb "  which means anticipating something pleasant

So you could simply look at it this way
I am looking forward to seeing you.
