This is a good rule. It has no exceptions!
If we want to use a verb after a preposition, it must be a gerund. It is impossible to use an infinitive after a preposition.
So for example, we say:
* I will call you after arriving at the office.
* Please have a drink before leaving.
* I am looking forward to meeting you.
* Do you object to working late?
* Tara always dreams about going on holiday.
Notice that you could replace all the above gerunds with "real" nouns:
* I will call you after my arrival at the office.
* Please have a drink before your departure.
* I am looking forward to our lunch.
* Do you object to this job?
* Tara always dreams about holidays.
Look at this example :
# Gerunds (-ing)
# Gerunds as Subject, Object or Complement
# Gerunds after Certain Verbs
# Gerunds in Passive Sense
