Did he want to marry a woman who was 22 years older than him? I think not. But he needed her to think so, for he could use her financial support in the Netherlands.
Elizabeth likewise thought it necessary to start the negotiations for the marriage because she was afraid of Alençon gaining to much power in the Netherlands. This way she had more control over Alençon and his actions. Plus she told Spain, (the Netherlands used to be part of the Spanish empire) that she was only discussing a possible marriage to Alençon because she wanted Alençon to leave the Netherlands. The Spanish were naturally keen on this, and so Elizabeth tried to make friends with Spain.
It therefore seems to have been purely a political game.
However it has been said that they were in love. They wrote each other a lot of letters, Elizabeth gave him a nickname and Alençon was the only one of Elizabeth's suitors to visit her.
No-one can know for sure whether they ever really intended to go forward with the marriage. But if Elizabeth ever intended to marry it was when Alençon was her suitor.
. But I'm sure you can find more if you search the web... 'cause I'm not an expert or anything.
