I don't connect with many people, but especially people my age. I feel many of the things people my age care about, I don't, such as partying, drugs, alcohol, etc.. I would like it to work, because I don't know if I'll find someone near my age again. I feel like I may end up with someone a lot older than me, which I'd be fine with more if society didn't see it as weird.

Oh, it's a she.... ok. Well, if she can bounce back and get another job, that's one thing. Does she live on her own? Does she need to pay rent? If so, she'll need to get a job ASAP.
The problem with dating someone who is jobless is you have to pay for everything if and when you do anything that requires money. And if she's sick.... wow, this sounds like my ex. He was sick AND jobless and I carried the financial burden for both of us for four months straight while he never found a job to help out.
My ex aside, t's a tough road when someone is unemployed, but that doesn't mean you have to eliminate them -- it can be a wait and see kind of thing.
If it's a rare connection for you.... well, there's something to be said about that and it may be worthwhile to meet her and just see how things unfold.
Nothing you've said makes me think you need to walk away from this person... but I would just see if things improve and if she gets another job.
