A little background: I have loved this boy (we will call him E) for 4 years,and my friend (R) has never expressed any interest in E. Certain suspicious things have occurred and I have confronted both of them and both claimed to not have feelings for each other,this made me quite happy because E is single. But then,E texts me saying that R and him are dating, is it okay that I still am crushing on him????

No, it's not wrong to still have a crush. It sucks, but it's not wrong. As long as you don't try to get in the middle.

Edit: Me and R are still friends but she won´t admit to doing something wrong.

Unfortunately you can't help who you like, but you also can't help who others like. It sucks but you either have to deal with it and stay friends, or just take some time out until it hurts less. I was interested in the same boy as my best friend when we were in year 9 but we talked about it and I realised that I wasn't interested enough to ask him out myself. My friend probably wouldn't have asked him out if I had been, but I would have just suggested we both ask him out if he's interested in either of us and gone on from there. My sister also had the same sort of situation and her friend asked the guy out without them really talking about it, and it stung, but in time she realised that although he had had a lot of very brief relationships previously, he and her friend were more serious, so she put up with it and the feelings faded in time. She is now closer friends with him than her, but that's a whole other story!
