Expression: a caution to rattlesnakes

[Haihao]

Hi,

Could you please help me with the following passage?

[Mister Micawber]

.
1-- He's very dangerous (she means romantically dangerous, I think)
2-- 'Seen its best days' = no longer in good condition (a slightly different meaning than yours, Haihao-- the phrase refers to its current condition)
.

[Haihao]

Oh, great! Thank you, Mister Micawber. Your indication 'the reference is to its current condition' makes a decisive difference to me.

'The dress had seen its best days'.

A more usual way of saying this is:

The dress had seen better days.

[Haihao]

Oh, yes, seen better days! Actually it tickled me a lot but didn't come into my mind. Thanks a lot, Conchita.
