Did you ask her? Have you asked her?

[Maybo]

1.
John: Did you ask her?
Bob: Yes, but she didn't reply.

2.
John: Have you asked her?
Bob: I've asked but she hasn't replied yet.



What's the difference? Does no. 2 happened more recently?

[STRIKE]Does[/STRIKE] Has no. 2 happened more recently?

In #2, Bob is still expecting a reply.

Please note that I have improved your thread title.

If only comparing 'did you ask her?' and 'have you asked her?', what would be the difference?

They could be synonyms in many contexts. However, if (for example) you were talking about something that happened last year, "Did you ask her?" would ask whether, at that time, you asked her the question; "Have you asked her?" would ask whether you asked her at any time between then and now.

The statement doesn't imply anything. However, it is fair to assume that if a person asks somebody a question a reply is expected.

We have to assume the individuals involved have some subject in mind. Possibly:

Bill: Did you ask her? Did you ask her? What did she say?
Tom: No, I haven't asked her yet.
Bill: Don't let her get away!
Tom:

(Tom and Bill are old friends, and they are talking about the possibility of Tom asking Sally to marry him.)
