Respected teachers please tell me which one is correct.
"Looking forward to see/meet you" or "Looking forward to seeing/meeting you"
"Looking forward to seeing/meeting you" is correct. This is the preposition 'to' followed by the -ing form (gerund) of the verb. It can also be followed by a noun or pronoun. The other form is wrong.
A text? Silly boy! C U soon. Not in MY texts, of course. Mine say things like "Can't wait to see you tomorrow!" instead of CU <3, but I'm old.
(A little piece of me dies inside every time I see "ur" in anything other than a text.)
I'm not a teacher, but I write for a living. Please don't ask me about 2nd conditionals, but I'm a safe bet for what reads well in (American) English.
Sorry, I'm a bit thick and not used to texts. What's the meaning of <3 in CU<3?
Just like :) is a smiley face and :( is a frowny face when viewed sideways, <3 is a heart. CU <3 means that you'll be happy to see me.
Would you like to borrow my teen for a couple days? She'll have you up to speed in no time.

That's the symbol of a heart, thus it symbolises your kindness, your love towards the person to whom you're writing your message. (It can also mean that you are fond of whom you are talking about. Eg., "I've just watched an interview with Jessica Alba. <3" Incidentally, you can add more 3's for the emphasis: <333 )
