In need of some advice

I'm a 22 year old male who's been out of dating for many years. I have the confidence and social skills to talk to random women and have them reciprocate back. I tried dating in my college last year, but it seemed that almost nobody wanted to reciprocate this time around.

I had welcoming body language, a sense of humor and was very approachable in general. Problem was, it seemed like nobody either knew how to carry a conversation or just weren't interested. I didn't know what it was all about. It would be fine if it was 4-5 people, but it was almost everybody.

Did I miss/am missing something? Was my timing bad? I don't want to sound like a stereotypical boomer, but are some people so saturated into dating app culture that they forget traditional methods of dating and freeze up?

I can provide more information and stories if necessary. I just hope I can get some insight as to what's going on. I appreciate any kind of input you guys have. Thank you.
