Yes, absolutely you can file for him as long as he is not inadmissible to the US for some reason (prior unlawful entry to the US, unlawful stay in the US, etc). However, in order to file for him, you would need to file for him as a fiance with the intention to get married as that is the only qualified relationship in your case. Simply filing for a boyfriend is not possible.
