I'm a musician myself. From my perspective, I think it's completely ok to dislike someone's music regardless if you have some romantic connection with him or not. If he asks your thoughts on whether a song of his is good or not, say what you really feel about it, and don't lie. It's ok to be critical of someone's music, although it helps if you're positive about it (i.e. "I don't really like this music because _____ " vs. "My god, that sounds like nails on a chalkboard." -- Feedback helps only if it's instructive). Having people lie to you doesn't help you out at all, because it gives you no idea what area of your music to work on.
If he refuses to accept/listen to any critical feedback to try and improve his sound, then that's his fault as a musician, and frankly, he won't make it very far.
That being said, I'm guessing he is around your age, so he has a lot of time to improve. I remember my pieces around that age, and they were EXTREMELY cringey. I still wake up night in a cold sweat embarrassed that I dared to share lyrics and songs, thinking they were good.
TL;DR; Be supportive if you can, but also be truthful. You aren't obligated to like his music.

hmm. Hope he will grow out of it to some different hobbie?

Nothing is more cringy than someone thinking they're good at something but in reality they're horrible at it. I hope that's not the case for him.
