Excellent question. When you say "look forward to" something, it means to feel happy and excited about something that is going to happen. It does not have to be followed by an infinitive verb form. Ex: He had worked hard and was looking forward to his retirement. Ex: I look forward to speaking to you about this in our meeting. Ex: I'm looking forward to his performance tonight.
