Reading posts on relevant forums here I really have to wonder. Those are beginning to sound like archaic and forgotten terms, especially in younger generations. I'm 71 by the way.
Different people do different things. I am surprised that a man of your age doesn't grasp that everyone is different in how they approach romance. Do you know any young people? You might be surprised at just how diverse their attitudes and experiences are. Unlike when you grew up in the '50s and '60s, there is no "cookie cutter" way of living anymore.

I was going to say this, but didn't, in my earlier post, but I see our irrepressible Zennie said it for me.
Why do you ask, OP? Toying with the idea of putting yourself back out there, at some point?
Yes, some men still woo and romance!
If it comes naturally for you, keep on doing it.
However... If she isn't picking up what you're putting down, the romance and wooing won't change her mind. IMO.
No, I don't waste my time with primitive rituals. If she's not putting out within the first week, another one will. Thankfully, men are getting smarter and aren't wasting money and time on dates like men of older generations did.
I think it depends on what the people are looking for. It's not an absolute as in, "once a player, always a player"...like a person might, when they're young, do the hookup thing because they're not ready for something serious and just want some fun. At another time in life, the same person might woo or romance someone because they see the potential for something more meaningful there, or they are ready to settle down. A person might get out of a long, oppressive and unhappy relationship (like I did) and be a lot more flexible on what kind of interaction they'll consider.
I think that people are getting wise to the fact that pursuing what you want, as opposed to what society, religion, or your parents or whatever, told you you're SUPPOSED to want, doesn't make you a bad person. And the technology has made it easier for people to ask for and get, exactly what they want, to some degree. Women are feeling more free to admit when we just want sex without commitment, than we felt in the past. And men who actually want to commit, don't feel like they've got to impress their boys by playing the field necessarily. People are maybe getting a bit more real.
Not always of course. But sometimes.
The funny thing is that so many people think that everybody is just like them or there is only one right way to do any of this.

Because they're too dumb to figure out that dates don't have to cost money, unlike men of earlier generations?
