I am looking forward to meeting you vs I am waiting to meet you

Both sentences are correct, but they express different ideas. 'I am looking forward to meeting you' implies anticipation of the upcoming meeting, while 'I am waiting to meet you' simply states that someone is waiting to meet someone else. The choice depends on the level of enthusiasm or anticipation of the speaker.
