I was talking to a friendly girl on OkCupid. We'd exchanged about 4-5 emails. Suddenly, today this appeared "Sorry, ___ no longer has an account". I don't think I'd see anything offensive and we're just chatting about pets.

What can I do? Is she gone forever?

EDIT: I think her profiled got deleted by an administrator because she used the picture of her cat as her profile picture. Therefore, it's probably not my fault.

Maybe she'll be back, maybe not, but I wouldn't take it personally. People usually do things like that because of other stuff overwhelming them in their lives, not because of you.

Nothing. And for the time being.

[she probably found someone else, i.e. you weren't the only one she with whom she was communicating]

4 possible scenarios:
1) she found her prince charming and deleted profile
2) she lost faith in online dating (not likely the case here)
3) she blocked you (also unlikely)
4) she changed her username

Yes, there's this possibility too.

I deleted mine because of No. 2. Sometimes you just get tired of the games and BS and need to make a clean break.

You could try searching her username and see if it pops up anywhere else

I wouldn't stew or worry about having missed out, OP. The reality is, you don't know who this person was (is). You don't even know she's a she. Just having spoken a couple of times and gotten along doesn't mean much. I've read that Ted Bundy was an excellent conversationalist.

Just being fatalistic about it, I guess, but I seriously wouldn't think, "Oh no, the person who could have been 'the one' just got away." For all you know, it was a 52-year-old dude in a white-ish tank top, a mini skirt and a Britney Spears wig tapping away over there. Whatever the person's reasons, that person is gone and it really isn't a big deal as far as you're concerned. Maybe she had to delete her account because the person she's currently suing in a paternity suit along with two other possibilities found out about it and was pizzed. I mean seriously, you just don't know.
