One nitpick: why do the Timers have such precision if they count down to midnight the day before one meets their love, not the exact moment of contact? Wouldn't it make more sense to have the Timer display years:months:days, since all the smaller units of time are irrelevant?
Time zones! If you're in the Midwest, and your Timer reads an integer number of days at exactly 12:15 in the afternoon, you know there's an emotionally significant trip to Nepal at some point in your future.
(Though this strains suspension of disbelief somewhat more than the basic premise. Even if I decide I don't want to meet my soulmate for some reason, it seems like it'd be hard for me to ensure that I spend an entire day without meeting anyone, so Fate should be able to nudge us together against my will. But Fate is going to have a much harder time nudging me into Nepal if I decide I don't want to be there...)
