What does Delilah’s first request amount to?

Judges 16:6 (ESV)

6 So Delilah said to Samson, “Please tell me where your great strength lies, and how you might be bound, that one could subdue you.”

The first round of Delilah’s questioning Samson has her basically asking him to show how much he loves and trusts her by telling her his secret that, if she were to betray him, would put him in great danger.
