Every resource I've checked tells of what happened to Samson after his hair was cut, but what happened to Delilah, did she feel guilty, ask his forgiveness, ask God's forgiveness, did she ever love him, or was she just a harlot and a pagan?

DELILAH
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.—Jg 16:31.
The axis lords of the Philistines, anxious to destroy Samson, each offered Delilah 1,100 pieces of silver (if shekels, $2,422) to find out for them wherein Samson’s great power lay. She cooperated by questioning Samson as to what would render him powerless. Each time Samson answered, she notified the Philistines and hid in her house Philistine warriors who were ready to take advantage of Samson in the event he lost his strength. After three misleading answers by Samson, Delilah continued to pester him and “pressured him with her words all the time and kept urging him, [so that] his soul got to be impatient to the point of dying.” Then he told her of his Naziriteship and that no razor had ever touched his head. Certain of having the truth this time, she sent for the Philistine axis lords, and they came to bring her the money. While Samson slept upon her knees, an attendant cut off the seven braids of his hair. Upon awakening, Samson found that this time his divinely provided power was not there. The hiding Philistines grabbed hold of him, blinded him, and took him prisoner. (Jg 16:4-21) Delilah is mentioned no more in the Bible account.
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.
While Samson slept upon her knees, an attendant cut off the seven braids of his hair. Upon awakening, Samson found that this time his divinely provided power was not there. The hiding Philistines grabbed hold of him, blinded him, and took him prisoner. (Jg 16:4-21) Delilah is mentioned no more in the Bible account.
Delilah, no doubt would not have been in the temple of Dagon, because the evidence shows that she was a Israelitess, whereas the Bible says only Philistines was killed when Samson brought the temple down.
Samson braced himself against the two supporting pillars and “bent himself with power,” causing the house to collapse. This resulted in his own death and that of more Philistines than he had killed in his entire lifetime.

she was killed in the end right along with the others at the gathering. when they blinded Samson he asked a little boy to guide him to the two pillars that helped hold the building. they all made fun of Samson and how he couldn't use his strength because his hair was gone. Samson prayed to God for strength to remove the pillars and when he did this he pushed the two pillars and the building came down and everyone that was in the building including Samson and Delilah were killed. go back and read the story at the end and u will see.

What Happened To Delilah

I'm sorry, but I have no pity for a man who tells his old lady how to destroy him after making something up three friggin times and she tries each one. Time to cleanse the gene pool, that's what I say.
She probably went home to her father's house. That's what wives generally did back then when they were done with their husbands. Wives and husbands weren't expected to love each other back then, it was all about procreating.
This story reminds me of the story of Llew Llaw Gyffes!

She bought a big house in Hollywood, and entertained a lot. Get serious, do you really believe there is some correlation between long hair and strength. The health food stores should be selling restorer.

It's all simply a matter of personal preference. I actually have short hair and guys just like it. And i prefer a person with short hair over a person with long hair because long hair tends to make guys look as well girly.
