A woman who is over 55 has usually reached a point of maturity in her life where her values are more established and evolved. For one thing, she will be less apt to judge a man on appearance and more to judge him on his personal qualities: honesty, integrity, stability, and self-awareness. She will also be looking for common interests, intellectual and emotional compatibility, and maturity. That is not to say that she won't be emotionally passionate or lack interest in sex. On the contrary, she will know what she wants and be secure enough to express it and expect you to respond in kind. Whether she is looking for marriage or not, she may surprise you with her sexual responsiveness, as she is usually free of concern for pregnancy, knows her own body, and is more likely to understand yours.

She will, hopefully, have a greater depth of wisdom, based on life experiences, both good and bad. Beware, though, if she has been through a divorce after a long marriage, or experienced other hardships, she may not have been able to recover as quickly or to the same extent as a younger woman. She will definitely oberve you and your behavior with a critical eye, and may be leery of commitment. She will be able to discern your motives with greater acuity than an younger woman as well. The good news is that this frees you to be yourself, since she will know if you are hiding something or not.

Take your time, and get to know her well. Establish good communication with her. Unless she is desperate (a type you want to avoid) she will be patient, communicative, interesting and interested in learning about you. Age is not necessarily a barrier; some of the most successful marriages are between outwardly mismatched people. All that matters is the mutual acceptance and affection the two of you share.
