Offering a Draw

Would someone explain to me why an opponent would offer a draw when I am one move from checkmate? I don’t understand. If you know you are loosing that badly why would you not resign? But to offer a draw? Just to improve your rating? My rating isn’t as high as I would like, but the only way to improve your rating is to improve your playing. Should I feel guilty because I did not accept the draw? Any thoughts??
