Why did Sampson love Delila?
Sampson lusted for Delilah. Foreign women were a idol in Sampson's life which finally cost him the anointing on his life not to mention his life.
a cautionary tale of how we should not indulge every desire of the flesh.

I have no idea why Samson loved Delilah, and the Bible does not tell us.
A woman living in the torrent valley of Sorek. Delilah is introduced into the Bible account toward the final part of Samson’s 20-year judgeship as the object of his love.
The Bible does not say that sexual relationship took place between Delilah and Samson or that she was a prostitute. The prostitute mentioned at Judges 16:1, 2 is not the same as Delilah. This prostitute lived at Gaza, whereas Delilah lived in the torrent valley of Sorek. Also, the following evidence indicates Delilah possibly was an Israelitess, not a Philistine: When the axis lords presented their proposal it was based on an extravagant sum of money and not on patriotic sentiment.—Jg 16:5.

I'll answer by scripture here.
First, we have Judges 14:1 "Samson went down ..."
and then his own words to his folks "She pleases me well.."
From this I adduce they were, how shall I say, "compatible" in a rather physical way.
