Or a destiny with a specific person?
Or love in general?

No. This belief was popular among the Greeks and Romans. According to pagan mythology, the Fates were three goddesses that spun the thread of life, determine its length, and cut it. It's not a Bible word or teaching.
There is a time when people are born and a time when people die. If each ones moment and manner of death were already fixed at the time of birth or earlier, there would be no need to avoid dangerous situations or to take care of ones health, and safety precautions would not alter mortality rates.

"Destiny with a specific person" I suspect you are alluding to the romantic myth of a soulmate. The happy people will believe in it. The unhappy people who are matched up with or married to someone who emotionally and/or physically abuses them, or in a relationship with an alcoholic or drug addict will disagree with it.
even in our supposedly enlightened and objective age, many people still believe that their situation in life, the outcome of their daily affairs, and their ultimate destiny are all controlled by fate and that there is little they can do about it. Man is not an animal, and is therefore always in control of his own destiny.” says an evolutionist John Gray.
This is what the wisest man who ever lived who was inspired by the Creator Jehovah to write In the book of Ecclesiastes, “I returned to see under the sun that the swift do not have the race, nor the mighty ones the battle, nor do the wise also have the food, nor do the understanding ones also have the riches, nor do even those having knowledge have the favor.” Why? He explained: “Because time and unforeseen occurrence befall them all.”—Ecclesiastes 9:11
Rather than suggesting that everything in life is determined by fate, Solomon was pointing out that humans cannot accurately predict the outcome. Often, something happens to a person simply because he is in the right place at the right time, or we might say, in the wrong place at the wrong time.

There is nothing in this world like fate, luck, serendipity. I spell pluck not as LUCK but as PLUCK. We pluck our luck, we create our fate by our own actions. That's why the law says - as you sow, so shall you reap. You don't find mangoes on apple trees, because if the seed is an apple, you will find apples, you can't find mangoes. Let us realize the simple Law of Karma; the Law of Karma defines that fate is nothing but the reaction of our own actions. When we realize that our actions create our fate, then we realize that it is Karma that is responsible for our destiny, our luck.
