Hear it in context
Notice where the phrase sounds natural.
I'm really looking forward to the concert next week.
I look forward to meeting new people when I start university.
Fix the pattern
One small grammar move makes it sound right.
Not: I look forward to meet you.
Say: I look forward to meeting you.
Here 'to' is a preposition, so it's followed by -ing: 'look forward to meeting/seeing/hearing'.
Which sounds natural?
Tap the one a native speaker would say.
'Look forward to' is the natural way to express happy anticipation; 'anticipate with considerable enthusiasm' is stiff.
