That is very often true, but not always. As you probably know, the word 'to' is also used as a preposition, and when a verb follows a preposition, it must be in the -ing form. Here are some examples of 'to' followed by the -ing form of a verb:

- look forward to doing

Hi,
In my opinion the below is correct;
Looking forward to reading your sentences
Is correct

This is a phrase, not a complete sentence. There is no subject or complete verb.

This kind of phrase would be OK at the end of a letter,
eg

Looking forward to seeing you,
Love, Mother
