I have been meeting three boys during my stay here. And I found interesting a common behaviour. All of them ended ghosting to me without reasons. I am tired of that . It is normal this type of hookup Culture?

I'm sorry to hear that this has been your meeting with Norwegian dating culture. There are many ways of turning somebody down, sadly ghosting is an increasingly common way of doing so.
I talk to a lot of students, and many of them are struggling with dating, espesially because of ghosting. This phenomenon is increasing, and the people who are victims of it use a lot of time and energy on waiting for a response from someone. It would have been better if the person you're dating sent you a message that he was not interested, instead of just staying silent. Ghosting is usually about the person not being able to bear the discomfort of causing you pain. Most likely, he doesn't realize how painful it is for you to wait, or what this feels like for you. That being said, maybe that's not the kind of boy you want in your life anyway.
I wish you luck on your next date, I hope it will be a better experience for you. Remember that not all Norwegian people behave like this.
