I guess the sadness comes because you feel they will never go out with you? That they're too good for you? It's an awful feeling. I know it well! Unfortunately, by being depressed and giving out those signals, that situation could continue and remain a reality. It's an awful spot to be in. Catch 22. So, do you pretend to be happy? I guess that doesn't work either. Just remember, everyone has their time. Their moment. For some, it's whilst they're at school (the popular kids). For others, it comes later in life. Just stay cool, hang in there and use your time wisely. Learn to play an instrument. Join a band. Write songs. Get fit. Do some voluntary work. Whatever. This time will pass. Good things can follow. If you believe it will, then it will. Just be patient.
