Theres this guy who im really in love with and hes in love with me too. we have been dating for 6 months but have been best friends for a year. we hang out everyday and i love him with all my heart. However, he has trouble believing this. He says he knows he loves me but doesnt know how i could love him. He thinx it must be infatuation or something but i know for sure that its not. He was previously a player but has changed. but he has a low view of himself. Its really sad to me that he hates himself so much that he doesnt think anyine else could love him. How can I make him believe that its the real thing not just infatuation or lust. i want him to know that i really do love him more than anything

In the meantime, both of you must realize that love is an action. It's not just a word to express how you feel. So for you, you need to not push him too much, and do things on a regular basis that shows him that you love him. If he feels that you massaging his feet once in a while, or suprising him with candy (or whatever he likes) once in a while, and being there for him when he has a problem, holding him when he feels alone or scared (even if he can't admit those feelings, if he feels loved when you do those things, then try doing them. And they should be things you do for each other.
He was a player, and now he has found true love, and it's scaring him. So what do people do when they are scared? Run away, doubt, argue, or whatever.
Just give him time and continue to SHOW him that you love him.
You guys will be fine. [ lovesong's advice column | Ask lovesong A Question ]

Well you see you can always cheer a person up
Try something like a gift, (Not expensive but special) tell him something clever like "I love you, no matter what and if you beileve it or not"
