How Do You Prove To Someone That You Love Them?

I am in this incredibly complicated situation (that I really do not wish to go into), in which my best friend, with whom I am madly in love with, does not believe me when I tell her that I love her. I have done everything in my power to make her happy and to let her know that I, in fact, do love her, and while she does reciprocate, telling me that she loves me as well, there is always this underlying uncertainty. This, I know, is the result of a past relationship, in which she put her feelings on the line, and then was crushed. I've asked everyone I know for help, and this is my last resort.

At this point I'd like to hear every possible solution out there
(Except give up, I've gotten too many of those)

Also, she's afraid to start trusting people again after the incident with her ex. How can I gradually regain her trust? In case I didn't make it clear before, I'm completely and utterly head over heals in love with her, and I could honestly see us spending...well forever...together....
(I know, I'm creepy, but all that aside)

I don't think it's possible to prove that you love someone. Indeed, the best thing to do would be to relax about it, and let things play out. If she has concerns about trusting anyone in a relationship again, then that's more likely to be healed with time. So in that sense the best way to "prove" that you love her would be to show her respect, and companionship, and give her the time she needs to heal.

Time heals.

when did thinking of spending your lives together become creepy? As far as I know it's standard for people in love, and the marriage vows assume it too.

Anyway, you can inspire love but you can't insist on it, so really all you can do is wait. And be prepared for the possibility that if and when she does get over her past relationship it may not be you she turns to, because love often is not returned.

Good luck anyway.
