OK, I've been chatting online with a guy on the internet and he's used lines like "Hello miss X" and "Is miss X there?" Well, both of us are in our late teens and the conversations we've had are casual, not formal. Does the context in which "miss" is used connote romance, humour, politeness or what? I'm just curious to know, thanks in advance for answering!

politness and respect.
Always ALWAYS keep your respect with a man except when you're in the bedroom together.
But ALWAYS carry yourself well and keep that man respecting you.

I don't like it very much. It's getting very frustrating to find so many of my favorite boy names becoming so girly. Jordan has always been one of my favorites for a boy, but there were three - yes, THREE - girls named Jordan in a 5th grade class I saw. Three Jordans out of a class of 24 kids, maybe half of them girls. 3/12...a FOURTH of the girls in the class were named Jordan! Since then I've been iffy on the name. Another one of my favorites is Dylan, but I've also seen this one worn on girls before. I mean, I'm not saying that you can't have a name to reflect a more tomboy personality, but I think that's what nicknames are for. I don't have a problem with Alexandra going by Alex, Charlotte going by Charlie, Samantha going by Sam, etc. But I wouldn't name them just Alex or Sam or Charlie. You bring up a very good point with the reverse thing. Nobody DOES seem to have any problems with Riley or Dylan for a girl, but when they meet a boy named Ashley, their reaction is, "YOU'RE A BOY?! But that's a GIRL'S name!" I've been yelled at for stating that Madison was a boys' name, which is actually true because the meaning of the name is "Son of Matthew" - hence the -son ending. I accept that this one has gone over to the girls now, but I still would not name my daughter a name that meant "Son of ____." I do love the name Madeleine/Madelyn, which is similar and very feminine. I do like some unisex names for girls more than guys, though. I mean, even though I have seen male Baileys and Taylors, when it comes down to it I like them better for girls (I do think Taylor is quite handsome on a boy, however, so I don't know). And Riley for a girl is acceptable if spelled as Rylie or Ryleigh. But the majority of these "unisex" names were not unisex until some people came around and called their daughters by these names, and I find it hard to sympathize with them on that.

It seems to represent politeness to me. However, it could also be a faked attempt to come off as polite. I'm VERY skeptical about chat room etiquette. They seem to be biding time to hit you up for cyber sex!!

My ex boyfriend used to do that.
I thought it was cute.
But then it eventually got to the point where it made me feel so old LOL!
I don't think saying "miss" means anything really.
It's just like saying, "Hey girl" or anything else like that.

miss is a title given to girls or single ladies, so its respect to from him to you on his part.
