Maybe, they were already chosen on each of your flights by couples.

Personnally, I prefer two window seats rather than two middle seats, as, window seats are larger (except 1A/K), and, you are not really seated next to each other anyway.
Last time, we flew A/E, as access is much easier.
But if you need to see each other, then E/F is mandatory.
Perhaps you can talk to Mrs. QRC for me. What I "prefer" and what I end up with are two different things when traveling with her...I *guess* I could choose the window-side singles, but I'm afraid I may finish the flight in search of a new spouse if I go this route....

I'm not an EK expert, but this is my experience too. On my last flight last week, all middle seats were unable to select a day before the flight (I didn't want them anyway) and only 4K was available. Rows 2-4 middles all un-selectable on the seat map. 2 and 3E/F looked occupied, while 4E/F were green color and un-selectable, whatever that means (block?). I thought wow we have a full flight or at least 11/14 with just 3 open (4E, F, K). Got onboard, only 2 out of the 6 middle seats were occupied (2F and 3E), and the cabin was 8/14.
