You live your love life once.
Zilli runs it a zillion times.
Finding love isn’t always straightforward
— see all the shapes your love life could take.
Meeting your person can be a winding road and there’s no clear
map for the path ahead. We all approach dating differently —
whether it’s in the number of people we try to meet, the number of
dates we go on, or how long we spend trying to make relationships
work.
While the little decisions we make affect the shape our love lives
take in the years ahead, it’s not always clear how the numbers pan
out.
Based on your answers to a few questions, Zilli simulates your
dating life forward one day at a time for 10 years, then does it again
and again to show you the range of how things might play out. Stop
guessing when it comes to love,
let Zilli do the math for you.

The code is kept only in this browser, and sent
only to the simulation service.
Your answers are used only to set up your
simulation — the conversation itself isn’t stored.
Read it back before we run it. Every numeral below
is editable — the simulation believes exactly what you tell it.
Where is this headed?
The pipeline ends at a goal. For now that goal is
marriage — other endings are coming.
The kids preset assumes a
healthy, uncomplicated path to a first child — in the model,
conception and pregnancy always succeed and only take time. Real life
is less obliging; those risks are deliberately not counted here.
What does your calendar hold?
The calendar is the scarce resource — every simulated
relationship competes for these slots.
How do strangers become dates?
The top of the funnel: how often an opener goes
anywhere, and how long a spark keeps without a plan.
How do the dates tend to go?
For each early date: the chance it leads to another,
and what the evening costs you.
How long is the long game?
Past the third date the calendar stops being the story
and time takes over. These stretches are measured in months.
How hard should we run the numbers?
Reading your futures…
The running estimate and its 95% band, drawn as futures
accumulate — the baseline fills toward the total.
When will you find your person?
Each simulated decade either arrives or it doesn't. The curve is the
share of futures that have arrived by each year; the shaded band is how
sure this many simulations let us be.

One future, up close
How spread out are the outcomes?
No single future is the forecast. These are the distributions across
every simulated decade — time, money, and people met along the way.

Where does the funnel narrow?
The average number of relationships, per simulated decade, that reached
each stage. The scale is logarithmic — every big step down is a
conversion worth a look.

Interrogate your assumptions
The sections above show what your assumptions do.
The interrogation asks where they stick: it reads the baseline for
bottlenecks, then re-lives your decade under each plausible change
to see which one actually moves the odds.

Your decade in review
The whole session in one place: what the
numbers said, where they stick, what would move them — and a card
to carry out.
1 · The decade in numbers
2 · Where it stalls
3 · What would change it
4 · Keep the card
A card you can keep — the whole decade,
clean, unwatermarked, and your odds stay off it unless you say
otherwise.
Keep the card
A card you can keep — your archetype,
your destination, the shape of your curve. Your odds stay off it
unless you choose otherwise.
