I want advice about how to make my dating prospects better. I'm especially looking for girls' opinions here.

There are some things that are outside of my control, like being below average male height (my actual height is 5' 6.5" tall but mom says I appear taller than that) but I remain optimistic.

Any advice as far as work or hobbies /interests go?

I'll also need advice on a realistic timeline to achieve all this. I'm going to sign on to a couple volunteer opportunities to work on employment and talking to other people.

Nervousness is not attractive. Who said a good date will be easy?

Tell hilarious stories. AFAIK it's always a winner.

I think odds of finding mutual interest in hobbies are not good. I don't feel men and women find a lot of common ground there usually. That's why I think sharing experiences works much better, such as film, or live music, or discuss books you both read.

And always remember to tell the girl you are enjoying her company, she will appreciate a confidence boost.

I will recommend against finding specific hobbies to get a girl.
You would want some hobbies (aside from sitting at the computer/console) but the ones you have should be accepted by them.

For work and hobbies both: having any is more important than which/what they are.

Nervousness is all ok, to an extent.
You'd have been talking to this person for some time online before meeting, which will remove some anxiety.
The remainder; she will also have some, at first
