No rules, no gimmicks, just simply let us know what your New Year’s resolutions are. There will be 10 winners. Yes, 10! The decisions will be awesome and not questionable. All I ask is to make sure to comment using the email address linked to your Skout account so I can contact you with your prize!

Deadline: January 2, 2012 11:59PM PST

My resolutions:
1. Learn how to cook
2. Spend more time with family and friends
3. Shop less

This year I wanted to be realistic and set resolutions I can actually keep.

Happy New Year, Skouts!

Good day,

Do you have game? Are you quite the charmer or just simply good with words? Whatever it is you are or think you are; we want you…to share your best catchy openers! You might be thinking to yourself one liners are L A M E but you’ve got to admit they can break the ice. If you ever used a catchy opener and got a smile, a chuckle, or a response then you know what? Success!! A simple hello and hey can only go so far nowadays. Sigh…Plus, some of us aren’t so great with starting a chat therefore using an opener can offer the foundation needed for a conversation to take off.

Here’s where YOU come in…

Skout has users from all over the world so we’re interested in catchy openers in whatever language you know or speak! German, Korean, Spanish, Chinese, English, Cambodian, Extraterrestrial, so on and so forth. The language doesn’t matter much however, just be sure to translate them into English so we all can get a giggle out of them. A handful will get chosen to be featured in our Wink Bombs! Pretty awesome, right?! You could be famous! Well, not really but it’s still pretty awesome. Ohh, and we’ll give you FREE Skout points if your submission wins!

Below are a few examples of previous submissions currently used in our Wink Bombs:
* Can I borrow your phone? I need to call God and tell him I found his missing angel.
* Here I am! What were your other two wishes?
* Are you a parking ticket? Cuz you’ve got FINE written all over you!
* Did it hurt when you fell from heaven?
* Do you mind if I save your picture? I need to show Santa what I want for Christmas.
* Someone call the fire department; you are SMOKIN!
* If you were a booger, I’d pick you first.
* You wouldn’t happen to have a map, would you? I keep getting lost in your eyes.
* I hope you know CPR, because you just took my breath away.

Skouts, and if you think you can do better now is your chance! Comment below with as many catchy openers you can think of. The more the merrier I always say. Well, unless it’s a handful of girls sharing a bathroom. Haaa!

Here’s an example I received today:
* Spanish: Me enamore de tus ojos. (English: I fell in love with your eyes).

Anywho, I look forward to reading your submissions. May the best Skout win!

Spread the word! “Like” it, Tweet it or both!

Good day,
Sheena

It’s about time we had another contest, isn’t it, Skouts?
This one’s pretty easy. All you have to do is Follow & Like us on Twitter & Facebook, upload your personalized Skout Fan Sign to Facebook, and BAM! You’re in. Oh, and by participating you could win a $15 iTunes Giftcard!

Just one thing, though — this contest is US Only, but we’ll definitely be incorporating overseas contests soon, so be sure to stay tuned for our weekly contests and announcements!

Okay. Enough with the fluff.
Here are the rules:

#1. Obviously be an 18+ Skout User. ;-D
#2. Follow us on Twitter! (@singles)
#3. Like us on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/skout).
#4. Upload your entry onto our Facebook Wall of you with your Skout Fan Sign (keep it clean, please)!
#5. Comment on this entry to let us know that you’ve entered the contest! Be sure to use the email address associated with your Skout account so we will be able to find you and credit you. Also, leave us your twitter account name so we can confirm that you are following us.

Here are some examples of various ways that you might submit a fansign to us:

But don’t let these examples limit you — get creative!
If you want to bake a round cake and decorate it with the Skout logo, do it! If you want to write “I LOVE SKOUT” on a piece of paper and hold it up on camera, do it! Or even take a picture together with your significant other holding up a sign with our logo. The possibilities are endless!

In fact, we don’t think it’s fair to just choose one winner, so we’ll also be awarding 1,000 Skout Points to the users that really impress us.

Here at Skout, we absolutely adore creativity.
We’re constantly flying the “school colors”, pumped about the App and our Community, and we hope that you guys feel the same!

There are three ways to win in this contest:

1. The Grand Prize Winner will be selected by the Staff, will win a $15 iTunes Giftcard and 1,000 Skout Points.
2. The top 3 photos on our Facebook page that receive the most “likes” will also win 1,000 Skout points. So get your friends to vote for you and spread the word!
3. Users who impress us with their fansigns in general will also receive 1,000 Skout Points.

DEADLINE: You have ONE WEEK to get your fansigns in, so start posting those pictures on our Facebook Wall and following us on Twitter! And if you want to post more than one, feel free! We will stop accepting entries at 4:00PM PST on February 17, 2011. Don’t forget that you need to follow the rules exactly in order to qualify!

We’re excited to see what you guys have in store for us!
TEAM SKOUT FTW.

And as always? Happy flirting, Skouts.
XOXO Cheri XOXO

Hey Skouters,

Cheri is having too much fun to blog this week, but I’m checking in from Worldwide Skout Headquarters to tell you that the Big Guy, Skout’s CEO, gave you a gift you might not have noticed — 100 free Skout points, to make up for a system outage that you probably didn’t notice either. I’m the chief bean counter, so I didn’t think he needed to give out all those free beans, but go ahead, flirt with a Skout today. Send a gift — we have some great new ones.

And the new contest:

Tell us your worst flirt: what you said, what the result was. Get down — the more embarrassing, the better. We’ll reward the best 3 (or more if you surprise us) with free Pro memberships.

Happy flirting,
Robin
