A lie is a terrible way to begin a relationship and that's sort of Sam's entire problem.  Because he's been lying to himself so long I don't think he considers the ramifications of what he's about until it's far too late.   But it's also sort of the best thing he's ever done because that lie, and all the reasons for it force him and Jonathan to spend time together,  gives them a chance to really see each other, and time to come to grip about how much they like what they see.   I do think accountability is important; I also think they're taking a note from Elizabeth Bennett about good memories begin unpardonable.
