What does it mean when a guy calls you 'miss'?

[Anonymous]

If he calls you "Miss ___" and your name? Is that just a nice friendly thing? Or is that a flirtatious nickname?

And we are the same age as well so it's not an authority/age thing

I suppose I could be flirting in that situation. But it also could just be a goofy way of addressing you and means nothing. Wishy-washy answer, I know, haha, but that's just what it is.

It's either flirtatious if you know another somewhat well, or it's him being polite.

Ah, we're fairly new friends.

[kovalinkie19]

I think it could be a bit of both, although it leans towards flirtation.

He’s probably being flirty unless he’s from down South. Down there they just talk like that.

that he is being respectful

Miss is the equivalent of Mrs. for an unmarried woman. Some people will use it instead of Mrs. If they don't know your marital status because Mrs. also implies you being older.

It means he perceives you a woman and is talking to you somewhat formally. Don't overthink it.

it's chivalry. "good morning Miss scrimshaw"

Its the female version if mister. It's usually just done in formal speech.

[genericname85]

is just a polite way to speak. like you say "sir" before a mans name.

Politeness. Or maybe flirting.

I think it's just a polite, maybe Southern thing
