I'd be more disappointed than offended if I thought you really assumed I wouldn't be able to control myself.
[ The idea is absurd enough that he hadn't taken it seriously, but he can be prone to serious answers, even when joking. He does have a critical outlook on life. ]
It doesn't make me uncomfortable. We're both adults, and we're not strangers. You've also spent months watching Misa's attempted sex life with me, and we've discussed yours. 'How' isn't an easy question to answer without knowing anything about them. Compliments and direct interest are probably the easiest way, but some people can see through them if they're not sincere. With you, if a stranger approached and began to praise you, you'd immediately be on guard. Even if they compliment your intelligence, something you agree is your strength, it wouldn't matter if you didn't already have some respect for them.
Besides, a priest is used to being worshipped. You'd need to stand out. They'd be a lot less likely to be interested in someone who didn't believe. If they're smart enough, somebody who asks interesting questions might get their attention. If not, an attractive face is more likely.

As a reminder, I'm not seducing the priest.
