Dear all,

Would you please tell me which one is correct?

b)I look forward to seeing you soon

Look forward to is a idiom and can be followed by noun / gerund. So Second is correct.

Hi Matilda,

Actually, this is a difference between British and American English. Americans will always say "meet with you", and British speakers will (nearly) always say "meet you".

thank you for you reply

It is 'nearly' always nowadays- I have heard it used a bit in the last few years, which strikes me as a recent development.
