Why do I never get asked out?

I'm a19 year old girl. I'm going to be 20 in a few months. I haven't been asked out since 7th grade, which was seven years ago. I've never had a boyfriend either. I don't mean to sound conceited, but many people (boys and girls) compliment my attractiveness. They say I'm pretty and cute. A couple of boys have liked me. Some guys even come up to me at work and tell me that I'm pretty. One guy came up to me at my work and said that I was "beautiful". Some guys even ask me if I have a boyfriend. I have a very introverted personality, but people say I'm very nice. I try to be friendly and kind with everyone. I talk to lots of guys too, yet still I don't get asked out...

Update:

They're not my coworkers, but they're the customers that are complimenting me... Not that I want to be asked out by them, I'm just giving an example...

    Ok. First of all, you are 19. That means that the guys in your age group don't have a lot to offer.

    Second, don't try to date people at work. If they are the only males you know, then you need to

    get out more. Engage in social activities that put you in contact with other guys.

    You are shy, but there is nothing wrong with that. You can practice to be more articulate

    and capable, but you don't have lose yourself in this. Do volunteer work. Engage in activities.

    First I wouldn't worry about getting asked out by guys at work because it's not a good practice to get anything started with coworkers. I'd go out and socialize in local bars and dance clubs to get noticed by as many guys as you can to up your chances of dating some guys. And be as nice as you can to them if they are hitting on you. Maybe in school you appeared to be too aloof or something to have any luck with guys there.

    You need to learn how to be more gregarious. Shy just doesn't get it.
