Like Chels said, there didnt seem to be a problem when Sam was telling Josie it should be illegal for her to be a bikini. You're just ranting about Dave doing it because you find it too hard to believe that a middle-aged man could jokingly taken the mick without it being malicious

Ok, I apologize about the comment about the age, you are right, this should not be the subject of this discussion.
(Also english is not my mother language, so sometimes not everything may come across like it was meant when I wrote it)

I am pretty sure, that there was also a discussion about Sam being very (let's say) unkind to Josie, but I can't say how it was discussed, because I was not involved.

To get back to the point.
For me it has nothing to do with the age of dave, the situation would have had the same meaning if 3 40 year old would do that 50 year old guy.

It is just not a friendly banter any more if you do such thing over and over again, always to the same person, knowing that person gets upset.

And the problem with Daves "I love you moley" excuse is, that he never really meant them to be an excuse. If so, he would have at last once said. I have gone to far, I am sorry that I have upset you, I will not do it again... But he just said "I love you" turned around just to bitch again about him to someone else.
THAT is no friendship.
