Here's how I think I'm NOT in the zone:

she laughs a lot whenever I make a joke when we're talking on the phone
we talk for a long time like 1hr to 1hr 30 at night
she tells me to buy her "cute" stuff.
we text all day long
she gets upset when she feels I'm being "mean" to her
when I was sick she asks "how's the cough and the sniffles" randomly
we'll talk things out, when there's miscommunication

here's how I think I'm IN the zone:

she has a boyfriend. But she's not sure if he's the one for her.
she jokes around about bring me a girl back from California (she was in cali for vaca)
she tells me about how once the opportunity is there I should take it.

some Neutral stuff not sure of what it means:

she likes it when I read her "Bed time stories"
she likes it when I sing songs over the phone to her.

If you're not in the friends zone, it means she's emotionally cheating on her boyfriend. Is that what you want? A cheater?

She has a boyfriend, leave her alone if you can't handle a friendship only. Otherwise, you're just going to twist all the signs into thinking that she sees you as more than a friend, which is unhealthy behavior for you.

Yep, As long as she has a boyfriend you'd better consider yourself in the "friend zone"
Her boyfriend probably isn't satisfying her emotionally. Or maybe she just likes the extra attention. Either way, I think you should start meeting other girls so that you're not stuck on this one that you can't have. That saying is true that people want what they can't have, but they also get what they give. If you're going to help a girl cheat on her boyfriend so that you can be with her, you're probably going to end up with a cheating girlfriend. Be careful okay? Don't get hurt over it. I say let it go,
