What does this mean?

I've never thought of myself as pretty,the opposite in fact,and I'm really shy.I don't get approached by guys in that way which I took as confirmation what I thought all along. The only exception was a guy who asked me to go for coffee and cake one time (he paid)but it was really casual and we only hung out a few more times and we never kissed or anything close. However I posted a picture on here once as part of another thread and several guys PM'D me and said I was pretty,beautiful,or about a 6 with 'potential' or just above average or also just average. It was a no makeup hair pulled back shot. However I'm now thinking they were lying to take the proverbial..and no guys notice me in real life. My self confidence is rock bottom and I've been ignoring it and chastising myself in favor of thing that 'matter more' but it still gets me down.. How do you improve your confidence in this area? As dismissing it as unimportant isn't working.
