Someone asked me if I had a boyfriend. (but nobody asked E in your example, so:) Someone wanted to know if I had a boyfriend. :) 'have' can be used too, but in this case 'had' is better.

A asked (past) if that girl had (past) a boyfriend, and B said (past) he would ask (future in the past) a friend that knew her. B asked (past) if the girl had (past) a boyfriend, and C answered (past) that she didn't (past). C told (past) E that someone had asked (past perfect) him if she had (past) a boyfriend, and she replied (past) by asking (prepositional participial phrase) who it was (past).
