The soldier wasn't one to typically consider taking away someone's choice a positive option. Not to mention the fact that the more he talks with Carter, the more he gets the feeling their connection is more than just that of fellow soldiers, and he's not willing to keep something this important from Steve in the first place.
Not to mention that if she was going to be around for any length of time, they'd likely find each other eventually anyway, and if they could arrange a (slightly) calm meeting, it would probably be for the best, both for them and everyone around them. It's really only due to the emotional effects of the island that he even considers offering to wait for her sake, but it's better than not offering.
"I can wait to tell him. But I'm not going to keep it a secret."
