Simple question: "How have you been?"

Question

Since I'm getting into more tenses than just the simple present, I am curious about the normal, colloquial, way of asking "how have you been?" to a person you haven't spoken to in a while. Is it simply "como has estado?" or is there a more common way? Thanks!

Answer 3

Well actually , when we ask "how have you been?" we don't only mean "how is he?" , do we? So I think, it can be also;

¿Qué tal has estado?

¿Qué has hecho?

¿Qué pasa?

¿Qué te cuentas? : I think this one is more used...
