It takes all of Kylo's self-control not to lash out at her in his embarrassment, but he keeps reminding himself that she has the right to ask these questions. If he's going to win her over he needs to be honest, at least to some extent. Give her the opportunity to make a proper choice.
He shakes his head in frustration, his hands clenching and unclenching at his sides. "For other people it's easy. Falling just happens when they are weak. But it's not. The Light will keep calling to you, trying to pull you back. Weakness... affection, emotion, it will always tempt you. To be truly Dark means to sacrifice everything which makes you weak." And he, clearly, hasn't been able to do that, there's no way he can pretend otherwise or he wouldn't look so anguished now.
