<p>今天你想我了没？ Did you miss me today? or have you miss me today? &quot;or not&quot; is unnecessary. This sentence is quite poetic.</p>
<p>你今天想不想我吗？ This is not a good sentence, &quot;想不想&quot; means &quot;do you want to&quot;, so it does not fit the question well. Let's say &quot;你今天想我了吗?&quot; or &quot;你今天想我不?&quot;. But as a general question without a specific date, you can ask &quot;你想不想我?&quot; or simply &quot;你想我吗？&quot;</p>

So, "想不想" means "do you want it or not".

Yes. "想不想去吃飯?", "想不想回家?" - "Do you want to eat?", "Do you want to go home?"

Why do you omit the translation of "不想" = "or not?"

It is just unnecessary - "do you miss me or not?" = "do you miss me?" The latter is shorter yet more sophisticated. The former sounds like the whining from a teenager :)

"你今天想我不?" is your correct sentence. How about "你今天不想我?" is it correct?

I think a better translator is one that can catch the message of a sentence, then find the equivalent in his/her own language rather than translate word by word that may end up in a way nobody speaks. Your case is not that critical, but keep in mind that a brief but to the point sentence is always preferred over a sentence with too many descriptive words that make it vague to the readers/listeners,

is "你今天想我没?" without "了" also correct?

Yes, for casual talks. The sentence is more formal/complete with "了".

<p>今天你想我了没 ？ is correct. Your sentence works without 吗, like 你今天想不想我？.</p>
<p>verb+了没 is kinda pattern we can use most of time. E.g. 说了没, 发了没, 想了没, etc. 了 can be omitted like 说没, 发没, 想没.</p>

How do people know that 你今天想不想我？means "Today, do you miss me or not? and not "Today, do you want me or not?"

@OConnor Normally, it means do you miss me or not. "do you want me or not" would normally be 你今天想不想要我？, which sounds pretty flirtatious.

<p>I saw some people wrote the following sentence.</p>
<pre><code>今天你想我了没 ？
</code></pre>
<p>I thought the question would be: Today, do you miss me or not?
I am just a very beginner. But for the same meaning I would ask as following.</p>

If you want to say "miss" in the typically romantic sense, it is 想念, as in 我很想念你, (I miss you very much) Here's a nice song about 想, called 亲爱的你在想我吗 -- https://youtu.be/YaK_Y07dqtQ

今天你想我了没？ Did you miss me today? or have you miss me today? "or not" is unnecessary. This sentence is quite poetic.

你今天想不想我吗？ This is not a good sentence, "想不想" means "do you want to", so it does not fit the question well. Let's say "你今天想我了吗?" or "你今天想我不?". But as a general question without a specific date, you can ask "你想不想我?" or simply "你想我吗？"
