Let's suppose this conversation between the girl and boy.
Boy: I wanna invite you to the restaurant.
Girl: No. I don't think I'd better.
Please does it mean here "I don't think I'd better" something like....I think I shouldn't do it?
Or I found this example:
“No, I don’t think I’d better. I will listen to it or read the book itself or whatever eventually but I don’t think I’d better do it today. I am sick from this, do you understand? I am physically ill. You don’t understand the impact this has had on me.”
I think it really means "I shouldn't do something", but what is the difference between but I don’t think I’d better do it today / but I think shouldn't do it today.
Can you please clarify me this phrase? Or could you give me other examples?
Thank you in advance.
With Regards
JCD

Hi JCD, I honestly don't see any difference between the two choices: I don't think I should go / I don't think I'd better go I believe I shouldn't go / I believe I'd better not go - A.
