think over
Weigh the options
To think over something is to consider it carefully before deciding: Think it over and let me know tomorrow.
The phrase suggests taking time to weigh options or reflect on a proposal.
You might think over a job offer, a relationship, or any decision that deserves deliberation rather than an immediate answer.
