Charles Ellicott Commentary Judges 14:7

"And he went down, and talked with the woman, and she pleased Samson well." — Judges 14:7 (ASV)

Talked with the woman. —His father and mother seem to have preceded him, and made the betrothal arrangements; otherwise he would not have been allowed by Eastern custom to talk with her. It cannot mean “talked about the woman,” as Rosenmüller says.
