"did you miss me" vs "have you missed me"

Both phrases are correct, but they are used in slightly different contexts. 'Did you miss me?' is commonly used to ask if someone felt the absence in the past, while 'Have you missed me?' is used to inquire about the current state of missing someone. The choice between them depends on whether you are referring to a past or present feeling of missing someone.
