I couldn’t help _____________ you because you are ____________ than pretty, and I like that sort of a person.
Here, ‘couldn’t help’ is a verb that is followed by a gerund and not ‘to infinitive’. SO, ‘loving’ is correct. Also, two qualities of the same person are compared. So, the comparative ‘er’ should not be used. I couldn’t help loving you because you are more kind than pretty, and I like that sort of a person.
