It’s a new word, I just invented it. If a person can be sensitive and display sensitivity, it seems reasonable that someone can be tentative and display tentativity. For example, you might read a story about Ben watching game streams and assume that it’s the beginning of a whole new activity. However, while the activity did begin, it did not continue. There’s a long list of activities that haven’t continued: motorbike riding, fossicking, eating salmon many times a week, computer use, tap dancing, reading SMS’s, music lessons, long walks, making Warhammer models and so on. The difficulty with tentativity is that it’s hard to know what will last and what will cease. And it’s always a surprise when an apparently strong interest simply vanishes.
Ben had a night out last night, staying at Tooradin with mum and her friend. Jazz and I had a quiet night in.
