I think you need to present an alternative explanation of why things happen, and provide your character reason to believe the alternative. For example:

Chaos. Everything happens at random. Have the character get to know one of two men based on the roll of a die.
Human Agency: Things happen because we cause them to happen. Have the character do something that causes the desired outcome, rather than having it imposed from outside. e.g. Sign up to a dating web site where she can find the ideal man.
A bigger god: Replace a belief in "fate" with a belief in different kind of super-natural agency.
A combination of these.
