That response is so Jo of him. Jo sees the good in people so he wants to what is best for Ian even if that means never getting to be with or sacrificing himself so Ian can have that. It shows that's he's very protective of those he loves and cares just like how cares about Chris too. However, Ian thinking being with him will only hurt people and for once he has someone (Jo) to counter these self deprecating thoughts and beliefs of his.
