You need to study tactics, in particular mating patterns from a book or tactics server.
Have fun! 
Having trouble finding Mates
Sort:
Speed of mate doesn't matter all that much when you're up a substantial amount of material like that.
A few suggestions if you'd like:
1) A lot of masters suggest instead of attacking the king endlessly, it's much better to visual and create a web around him, in essence move to take away all of his escape squares so that any check is mate, rather than chasing it to the edge of a board first, it could save time and calculating effort.
2) Invest in a good general beginning book and they should show you quite a few different mating patterns to look for and set up. The only book I own that fits the bill there is Tarrasch's The Game of Chess however there is a lot of outdated material in there that serves well for the ratings you've listed but it doesn't really hold up against the positional play seen in the strong B and A class players.
3) Without spending money, you can also download a free UCI chess engine such as Crafty or Rybka and either have it analyze your games, or set it up so that you are the "defender" and watch the computer generate a mating pattern for you to follow in your future games.
4) The best option, for price and general worth, might actually be what the site staff would suggest and invest in a Chess Mentor subscription. It has courses for all sorts of situations and I'm sure there are many basic mating patterns that would be invaluable to see in that setting.
As a whole, you didn't do anything majorly dumb in your game, however you neglected to develop your Kingside for a long time. Neglecting pieces like that makes attacks much harder to sustain. Also, I'm not so sure about castling queenside so quickly, but this ties into the development thing and the fact that you weakened the castled pawn structure with b6.
16... Qd5 is almost certainly not the strongest move in this position since the pawn was already amply guarded by the Rook and light-colored Bishop, however it worked beautifully due to your opponent hanging his own Rook trying to save the pawn.
Overall, I'd say you have good tactical vision and that your best areas to study to produce stronger results would be endgames/mating patterns in a systematic manner and also to begin to look into a few opening and the ideas behind them so as to achieve even better position with less work.

1) i've been told so much to not attack that much with a so little developement. it's something i should work on.
Instead of searching for good positions, i'm alway(from begining)looking to mate. Neglicting pieces and losing em.
If i would be against a computer, i would have NO chance, he would exploit at maximum my bad positional play and destroy me
2) I'm actually reading 2 books.
-Michael de la Maza - Rapid Chess Improvement(this 1 is a really good book to get used with tactics, i love it)
-Tibor Karolyi & Nick Aplin - Endgame Virtuoso Anatoly Karpov
i've shown some interest with chess to my family, and they got me a LOT of books.My uncle gave me his whole collection.. i have like 45 books. I just did not know where to begin.
altho, this forum helped and proved me that i have to work on endgames tactics- Much apprecieted from the community
3-4) i got Chessmaster 10th editions for my birthday and i'm LOVING it. I will probably have a Chessmentor subscribtion or a chess.com member subscribtion for christmas(i my family, we know our gifts, it's more of an exchange of gifts)

About 16... Qd5 - i've done this to neutralize his king side - but he litteraly did something i did not see coming. - i predicted he would move his knight to f4. or his pawn to f3 but he litteraly gave me his rook - i don't know the reason. he made my game real easy from this point.
And about the O-O-O, i did it to defend my queen with the rook, but it was not even attacked - it was out of stress, or something.
Thanks for reviewing my game, much apprecieted, it helps to analyse it alone, but when someone else with more experience adds his 2cents.
It's just magic how much it makes you see your errors.

I would play against you, but my laptop contantly disconects from live chess. i'm using firefox, but i don't know why.
We could alway play trought MSN, the little chess program trought it is not bad and it works on my laptop.
Most of the time i play at the internet cafe just in front of my college when it's dinner time, or when i'm done with school, they have 8 chess tables with brand new clocks, and there's constantly people playing.
i'ts 1$ per games - so damn, i'm alway playing there.
otherwise, the chess club wich where i subsribed in october is open all week-end and you can play for free.

But damn, i'm having trouble to find mates.
