English term or phrase: It's not as if there was any man on earth she ever recommended me to get close t
Testo teatrale israeliano (per la messa in scena e non per la pubblicazione). Monologo di una donna.

A: I met a man. My mother said: "Keep away from him! ". It's not as if there was any man on earth she ever recommended me to get close to.

La mia proposta:

A: Non che ci fosse un solo uomo sulla Terra a cui mi ha consigliato di avvicinarmi.

Cerco soluzioni migliori. Grazie.
