Sakura basically has a TOP TEN LIST OF WHY DATING NARUTO IS A TERRIBLE idea, and number one is that he deserves better than someone that can give him half a heart. Not that she'd ever tell him, but the thing is that Naruto is pretty much the best person Sakura knows. He's sweet, and hard working, and amazing, and he deserves the BEST OF EVERYTHING. Sakura, with the shadow of Sasuke always looming behind them, is not going to be able to give him that, no matter what he thinks he wants.
And as much as Sakura loves Ino, she knows that Ino isn't that person either. Ino is flighty and selfish. She'd lure Naruto in, make him fall in love with her, get tired of him and then just... toss him aside.
Sakura can't change how much she's hurt Naruto in the past. Sometimes (or more than sometimes), she wishes things were different. That she were a different (better) person. The least she can do is make sure he doesn't get hurt again. ]
