Ianto seems more accident than design on Jack's part, honestly.
I always thought it was an interesting aspect that Ianto picked Jack as much as Jack picked him (also kind of necessary; because otherwise I suspect that wouldn't have gone any further than Jack/Gwen); but I think decision does come into it; or maybe more precisely the refusal to make a decision at first, leaving it up to Ianto whether or not he wanted to stay after CW? And choosing to (re)start a relationship with someone after such a major crisis is a sort of decision, too; maybe more so than the date offer in KKBB, IMO
I think what Jack... maybe admired on some level was that Ianto was willing to go this far for love.
