Similar to the friend zone, but when the girl considers you such a good friend that you're like a brother to her. Or a father. Whatever. You can get so close to this girl that sleeping in the same bed is a non-event, because it's just like sharing the bed with a sibling.
Sarah: Thanks for taking care of me, you're like my big brother or something.
Jacob: Perfect. I love the family zone.

The family zone is similar to the friend zone in that it puts you in a position where a partner isn't interested in romantic interaction because of your role in their life. Being in the family zone means that the person doesn't want to sleep with you because you are a blood relative (like a brother or a daughter).
Meanwhile in Alabama...
Sister: Ew you're disgusting! Just because I've slept with every other guy in school doesn't mean I'm going anywhere near you! Perv!
Brother: Wow seriously, how you just gonna stick me in the family zone like that? Thought we had chemistry n shit.
Sister: Ew no! You're my brother!

when a dude or dudette you are in love with dubs you an unofficial member of their family. hence the classic sentence "you're like family to me."
worse than being friend zoned. or better? who even knows.
(none of this matters of course if you are actually both feeling like bro & sis.)
