I think I can be respectfully distant during the show. It will be hard but I would rather be there, next to her with no connection or interaction than not be there at all. ... Having expectations for a good time with her are doubtful.
You're not getting it. The first part reeks of desperation and if that's what you're going to exude then it's only going to push her further away. Don't even think about having a good time with her. You must act as though the mail carrier is sitting next to you--someone you recognize but with whom you are not overly friendly or familiar. That means no chatting, no hand holding, only speaking to her when answering a question.
If you have any doubts you can do this then don't go. Or ask at the box office if you can switch your seat.
If you love somebody, set them free. http://tinyurl.com/2empx2g
