The nuance doesn't change substantially here if you substitute "we" with "I." Some people like to use "we" instead of "I" when asking questions, as it gives more of a feeling of collaboration. However, since the speaker is asking for the woman's opinion here anyway, you don't necessarily need to use "we" here to provide the same effect. Ex: A: I'm starving. B: Should we get you some food? Ex: We should buy you some new shoes. Your current ones look worn out.
