Be straight up with them. No hidden agenda.
Want others to trust you, don't give them a reason not to. Make your words be true, your schedule be reliable, your loyalty, obvious.
It also helps to build a trusting relationship if both people have something invested in it - like secrets only the other knows kind of thing.
You can't make someone trust you but these are the things that can help most.

That's not too hard, really. Start by doing exactly what you say you're going to do--no matter how small a thing it is. Most people tend to trust a little at a time, so when someone gives you something (whether it's loaning out an object to you or lending you a favor), be sure to honor it.
For example, I've had friends who have borrowed stuff from me... and I had to later act like a bill collector when it came time to get my stuff back. So I love it when I lend something to someone and they give it back--in good condition--in a timely manner. I've also once helped a friend move... but she proved to be pretty scarce whenever I needed help; if I asked her, she had something else to do or some other reason not to help--and she never offered if not asked. This led me to not trust her.
Think of what it takes for YOU to trust other people. That's your template for making yourself trustworthy to others.

Be yourself, selfless, kind, considerate, honest *always* (even if it hurts you and/or the other person - this is loving). Eventually truths will come out and you will have to explain yourself. So its best to start on the right foot from the start, rather than have to back-peddle later. Trust is easily earned if you follow the simple formula but hard to regain once you've lost it.
Good luck {{{{{Z}}}}}

You can't make anyone trust you. You have to earn it and it takes time. If others see that you do the things you say you will do that's a good start.

Listen to Writersblock he is a very wise fellow.
That is why he is one of my very best friends who knows all my secrets.
I know that he will NEVER tell them..
You earn trust over time..

You can't "make" anyone trust you. It has to happen over time if you prove yourself to be reliable.

You can never 'MAKE' people trust you.
You must be trustworthy, and earn someone's trust.
