EasyJet will, in my experience, seat people on the same booking together. So, unlike with Ryanair who "randomly" split groups up across all 27 rows of the aircraft, with EasyJet there will be fewer unoccupied middle seats to allocate. Couples will be given aisle or window + middle so single travellers are much more likely to be given an aisle or window.
