Genevive and Kristopher
FOUND by Mel
in Canada
I found this at work on the floor below mine, and I'm now trying to find out who Genevive is so I can return it to her. Might be a nice keepsake.

We collect FOUND stuff: love letters, birthday cards, kids' homework,
to-do lists, ticket stubs, poetry on napkins, telephone bills, doodles -
anything that gives a glimpse into someone
else's life. Anything goes...
Unless she said no.
i love how he put all that in a note...
"snuggamuf"
Did you find this in Mtl? (asking because of the french name). I find it a bit odd that the guy wrote it in different colours. I hope the guy gets up the nerve to ask her or maybe since she didn't get it he'll think that she doesn't care about him....that would be to bad. I'm hoping everything works out for them!
Not to be too judgenmental, but I'm not sure I could marry someone who was too afraid to ask me ... even if he did refer to me as snuggamuf, which would probably take far more courage than asking for my hand.
^^^^^
Damn, I'm stupid. lol
"Snuggamuf". That's too funny. It's the kind of word that gets stuck in your head. "Come here and kiss me, you big snuggamuf." Hee Hee.
snuggamuf? tremendous.
snuggamuf! what extreme sweetness!!
it's like a proposal to propose. how lovely.
personally, i think we put too much importance on that one breath-taking proposal. I personally would prefer to (propose) and be proposed to over and over again... in bed, in the shower, in the middle of a long, rainy walk, while making pasta and drinking wine, over a nice banana split...
I hope she received the letter and went to 'Reids', then said yes, then had a happy life.
I have a very sad feeling that Genevive never got the note, never made it to the meeting place and Kristopher took it as a refusal. I'm quite sure he left the restaurant never to speak of, or to Snuggamuff again.
The agony of missed connections.
Huh. What a way to ruin the surprise.
"Hey hon, I was thinking about proposing tonight...what do you think? Olive Garden, 7 pm? See ya there!"
Take note, boys- not the best approach, don't give her time to think about why she should say no ;)
Too scared? What a wuss.
I have a feeling Genevieve wouldn't have been impressed (especially as I suspect he couldn't spell her name).
And she might have been a bit dubious about the purple and green felt pens. If he does crochet too, she'd better run a mile.
Seriously, each to his own. Who knows. Very romantic (*snort*)
Am I the only one that thinks these guys are too young for marriage? His handwriting looks like a kid's.
I dunno, I don't think I'd care to be proposed to in a bar, which is what Reid's sounds like. (If it were a restaurant, surely he would have offered to pick her up and take her there?) One of my old mother's gems of wisdom that I've always remembered(along with "Always know where your handbag/cellphone is") was, "Never marry a man you met in a bar." I don't know if I'd accept one who proposed to me there, either--even (or perhaps especially) if forewarned by this note.
Never marry a person who's rude to the waiter, either. If they're rude to someone who's paid to wait on them, how will they treat you when it's free!
I hope this is the Reid's.

Ahhhh, young love.
What a dope. Failing to propose, then leaving her a post-it note??? Genevive, run like hell baby, you cannot spend your life with a spineless, lame-ass, dolt.
I only hope that the real story behind this find is actually something very different from what it seems.
Run, Genevive, run! Marker-Man is planning to pop the question at Reid's.
Genevieve, what a gorgeous name!
As for the note- well, sweet, but lame at the same time. And putting RING in a different color- like to make it more important? I don't know... something about this letter says Loser to me. But then again, maybe Genevieve is a loser, too, and would be blissfully happy. But with a name like that, how could she be anything but fabulous?
I recieved a similar note...minus the bar scene...32 years ago. I married him and have had 30 years of the most wonderful life! Hopefully for Genevive she will too, and my experience is the not he exception that proves the rule.
I used to out with a guy whom called me Pumpkin Doodle. He called me that cause I made a really good pumpkin dessert called pumpkin buckle. Where he pulled the "doodle" from is a mystery.
FYI, I broke it off.
Wow. That's all. Wow.
I don't like this find at all. He shouldn't have ruined the surprise w/ a magic marker stained crinkly legal pad paper note.
If he NEEDED to ruin the surprise he could have at least bought a nice card from Hallmark.
why in the world is RING in lime green? Are there extra points for lime green? Does it convey an added air of urgency? desperation? sincerity? what??
Either way, I hope both Genevieve and Kristopher are happy today, wherever they are.
too bad this was found in canada
...and i'd bet that he spelled her name wrong, too.
sarasara, will you marry me over a nice banana split? <3
@ Davy Rothbart, wherever you are:
Are you taking notes?
Always in motion, lime green denotes Cubic zirconia. Genevive, beware.
Hold on. I've been spelling "snuggamuf" with one g and 2 fs. (Snugamuff)
And since when are guys drawing hearts on their love notes?
Hmmm...
I truly find this hard to believe. No man that I know-
would ever consider a note in colours, about a ring no less, at work in an office building, on a yellow legal pad... I suspect this is a fraud.
I know a lot of men too, I work as a Psychologist for ex-pat men In Tokyo.
Oh P.S. Even the Signature looks Fake! Stop trying so hard, Mel.
Rachelle, I don't think it's a fraud, just goofy. I mean snuggamuf, please I'de have to make a quick exit. Gag.
Why didn't he just get his mommy to write it for him? Gawd!
I suspect this note is probably an in-joke between friends, and that neither one is named Kristopher. Maybe between two girlfriends, and the one wrote a fake note from the other's boyfriend for a laugh?
Pet names are for pets.
Just sayin'
Perhaps this note was actually intended for one of those colored sharpie commercials.
Apparently I'm in the minority for thinking I'd like this kind of thing far more than a "typical" proposal. ;)Lots of guys are shy about big moments. That doesn't always make them losers.
Gawd....I HATE HATE HATE those mushy pet names. Even non-mushy ones....my husband puts "girl" at the end of my name a lot of times....I want to stab him!....Wow, I am really hostile today
Um, I hate to put a damper on all the romance, but I think that "snaggamuf" technically refers to the lady's "lady" (down there). If you know what I mean.
The writing in Magic marker, the hearts...reminds me of notes written by Middle school girls, circa 1985. And no never wrote any notes like this, but was a Middle School boy in 1985 and so received some that looked like this.
Rino? Wtf is a Rino? Did the writer mean Rhino?
Snuggamuff? A 1980's cartoon character?
Snuggamuff, I love it.
@ Smallbear: "Ring". I misread it the same way first time around, too.
One of my best friends in elementary school was named Genevieve. If you found this note in Scarborough, Ontario, then maybe it's hers??
That would be kinda nifty, actually...
Oh and Reid's isn't necessarily a bar. We have Reid's Dairy here, and they make the best milkshakes (honestly, it's unfreakingbeliveable how good they are). So maybe he was planning on proposing there?
But I don't think this is a real proposal... I think it's probably two friends making fun of each other, and making plans to go out without anyone else knowing or something.
Overall, a cute and funny find :)
Someone once told me she got poison ivy on her muff.
blue in the bayou, I know how you feel, if it isn't the right time of the month and my husband calls me that name (I won't repeat it cause I hate it that much) I want to stick needles in his eyes, lay him in an red ant bed, and set him on fire.
Oh man, you shouldn't have brought that up Writer Rejected. Now you got that Pepper thing going.
I wasn't aware that "snuggamuf" is in actuality a VAGINA REFERENCE!?
Va-Jay-Jay, hoo-ha, garden... snuggamuf...?
It original reminded me of "snuggle-muffin", which is what my boyfriend occasionally calls me. Now I may be permanently scarred.
Jodababe, is Pepper still your hero? She's on her period and her husband is calling her pet names.
I don't think this FIND is a fraud.
I actually think it's a real note, between two people in love.
However, Kristopher is just a wee bit shy and thought this would 'break the ice'.
Genevieve is probably 'love struck' with Kristopher's shyness, innocence, and being so naive. <-(SP?)
It's sweet!
I have to agree with some of the comments,
Why would you have to write a note to inform the individual that you plan to propose...doesn't that defeat the whole purpose of proposing...essentially, this note is a proposal.
Nothing says romance like paint pens on a legal paper.
Hmmm... well, my name is Genevieve but I'm pretty sure this isn't for me, especially since I don't know anybody named Kristopher... BUT I will say, if it were me, I would not be at all impressed by the way he spelled my name.
maybe genevive is daydreaming about kristopher proposing to her, and taking it a step further than writing "mrs kristopher so-and-so" by writing out a cute note...
it could happen
I wouldn't go to Reid's. They smell like cheese.
Don't worry guys, I said no.
What's a RZNG?
Anyone else read it like that?
I hope that this isn't the same Reid family from this note: http://www.foundmagazine.com/find/4958
It might kill the mood.
