In my opinion she doesn't tell him because at that moment he cannot possibly believe such a thing, he's not ready to hear it, he doesn't feel anything of his own power. If she told him flat out "yeah dude, you're the One" my guess is he would be sooo scared of his responsibility that he'd get all paralysed.
Maybe he wouldn't decide to save Morpheus either, cause the life of the One is so precious?
That way on the other hand, he thinks he's not the One, since the great oracle said so. So he's much more courageous and decides to sacrifice himself to save Morpheus. Thus he ends up doing exactly what he had to do, discovering his oneness in the process 
My interpretation, but I'm not a Matrix specialist, I barely remember them.  |
That's just how I 'read' it Rose. She told him what he needed to hear, not the 'from the horses mouth' truth of the matter. Perhaps there a lesson in that, in so far as giving advice to other people on these forums, to guage it appropriately for that person etc...
