IIRC it's not declining the offer if you don't actually use the word "decline." For example a person is buying a car and makes an offer to the seller for $25,000. The seller can say "do you think you can pay a little more?" If the buyer says "i dont think so" the seller can still accept the offer. It's only a counter offer (which in turns negates the original offer) if the seller was to say "that is too low. I don't accept. How about $25,000?" Simply inquiring about something does not make it a counter offer.
