The thing about the friend zone is to think of it like a finger trap, easy to get into, impossible to get out of. Either she does or she doesn't find you attractive to her in a romantic sense. She will subconsciously know this within the first few times meeting you and it usually doesn't evolve that much over time. The only time I've seen a girl get to like a guy she previously didn't is when the guy left the city for University and came back 4 years later in amazing physical shape and more emotionally evolved.
My guess is that unless she's floating signs indicating she might be harbouring feelings for you than you're SOL. There is nothing you can do to pursue those feelings without putting your friendship at risk. Once it's out there, it'll never be the same in a friendship sense. My advice to you would be to take stock of your romantic life thus far and figure out ways in which you can move on. While the movies and TV lead us to believe there's only one person for everyone, my personal experience has told me that there's plenty. The only obstacle in the way of finding someone you find just as attractive as her is your own ability to meet new people. As my good buddy always says about the process of finding his next: "Sometimes you have to slay a few dragons to get to the princess"
