couldn't VS couldn't manage
I recently debated buying a particular car that had just arrived at a local
dealership. I looked at it for two days and test-drove it twice. I really liked it. It was an extraordinary deal because of some rare circumstances. But, as much as I liked it, and as perfect a deal as it seemed, I couldn’t manage to form the positive belief that I should go buy it.
Q) What is the difference between this?
1. I couldn't form the positive belief that I should go buy it.
2. I couldn't manage to form the positive belief that I should go buy it.
Does manage mean kind of control?
