There's clearly been a misunderstanding, perhaps you could sit down and talk to him about how you feel, and listen to what he feels.
If telling him doesn't work, maybe you could try showing him that you love and care from him. I think the best thing for you to do is be open and honest on a day-to-day basis; hopefully he'll understand that you do love him.
Maybe your dad is afraid and paranoid that he isn't being the best dad for you. If you try to see it from his point of view, maybe that could help you understand a bit better.
Try also considering why he thinks you hate him - is it what you say or do?

I think the saying actions speak louder than words truly applies here. Just try spending more time with him and go above and beyond with the little things.

Try to show him that you don't hate him, things you do may convince him more than words did. If that fails, try to confront him and have a conversation. He is your father, and it seems like something between you two happened, so he thinks you hate him. He wouldn't act badly, or say something wrong while you two talk, especially if it's something personal. So i believe that if you try to do something like this, he can realise that you don't hate him. Good luck :)

I would say actions speak louder than words and to show him that you would enjoy spending time with him and being around him.

Try to show him that you love and communicate more and keep telling him you love him until he understands perhaps just asking why he feels like he does

Never told him you love him or hate him. Just show it. If he still think you hate him, then maybe you didn't care about him too much

You should show him you love him, take him out to his favourite diner, buy him a present, take him to see his favourite sports team play live, something that shows you care

I went through the same situation with my father. I asked him to go to lunch with me one day just to sit down and talk, which ended up turning into an unplanned road trip for the weekend. I would call it a father/daughter weekend. It was fun and made it into a more common thing. Sometimes all that needs to happen is a good, long talk and some bonding time. :)

Spend more time with him. Do things with him that people would never do with someone they hate. Show him how much you care for him.
