Why would Samson play such a dangerous game?

Judges 16:10 (ESV)

10 Then Delilah said to Samson, “Behold, you have mocked me and told me lies. Please tell me how you might be bound.”

It is striking that Samson does not leave after the first round, but instead continues to listen to Delilah. Why does he do this, tempting destruction by hanging out with evil? We are not given his motives. But he seems to be as hooked on danger as he is on women.1
