"OK...I'll sit in the unsold middle seat next to you for the next 16 hours, unless you want to offer to give me your paid window seat? By the way, I have to warn you that I am an armrest hog."

No - unless she is a supersize.

It's pretty rare but sometimes people do buy the seat next to them. I've only seen it a few times ever---less than five. If it's a full flight, they usually spend the whole boarding process defending their extra seat.
