I would like to gain weight but I dont like eating and I cant drink stuff like
weight gainers or protein shakes...

Although your request doesnt make a whole lot of sense to me it is possible for
sure. deadlifts might help, front squats, cleans, good mornings maybe leg press
just wait for the good guys to show up they will like your question

actually, if you do GM's a couple times a week, you should get close to the numbers you are squatting. and can do a heavy, submaximal squat once a month to test it to see where you are.

chances are you dont like squating because you just havent done it enough. now my squat is a work in progress because of years of neglect. however, squating 3x per week has my technique coming along, and i no longer dread squat sessions.
DO SOMETHING FREQUENTLY AND YOU WILL GET BETTER!

If you're squatting olympic style, the answer is absolutely not.

In a Powlifting-style 'squat', as was mentioned above, GMs can have very direct carryover.
