Guys, do guys like it when girls tell them they think they are hot/attractive?

So basically there is this guy that is friends with my friends and I think he is extremely attractive. We've never had a proper conversation and the only communication we have is saying hi to each other. I see him in nightclubs a lot and he works in a store that I'm in quite often. Whenever I'm in the store I always catch him staring at me and then smile. The same goes for at clubs, I'll catch him staring at me but hold eye contact until I smile at him. Last night I was out and he was there and I wanted to go up to him and tell him I find him very attractive but decided it would be a bad idea. I requested to follow him in instagram that night though. If I were to do that next time i see him out at night (I'm not confident enough without a few drinks) would that be weird? Do guys like it when girls tell them they think they are attractive? Would he take me seriously in a nightclub after a few drinks? (Btw in case it matters we are 18/19 years old. Don't worry though because legal age of drinking and clubbing is 18 in Ireland, so we're not breaking any law I just wanted to see if age would make a difference in his reaction) ideally I'd like to be in a relationship with him so is this a good way to grab his attention? I will add that I have kissed one of his friends before in case that matters too.
