Hello." We know that Would like and want are the same.Well,what is the difference between don't/doesn't want and wouldn't like?"

" We use would you like...? in offers and invitations.But in answer we cannot use wouldn't like.?Why? "
I will be pleased if you explain.

Good morning,

" Would like and want are the same." --- Sorry, I disagree.
Would like, is a polite request.
I want, is a curt demand.

" But in answer we cannot use wouldn't like.?Why?" ---- Again I disagree. Depending on the situation you could reply:- " NO !, I wouldn't like. Thank you.! "

" don't/doesn't want and wouldn't like?"

I don't like it.

He doesn't like it.

They wouldn't like it.

Hope I have understood your question/s correctly.
